What if there's no time to run the A/C or motor for 10-15
minutes? I run the motor at midnight and feel unsafe to sit in a
car. The local laws requires that an unregistered or uninsured
car cannot operate on public roads. The laws also require that a
vehicle must move once every few days and be free of dirt. I
finally had it registered, but still no liability insurance. What if I
operate the AC once a month for 15 minutes and just start the
car for a minute, just to move the car a few feet from its original
spot?

I will try the defrost position, good idea. However, the diagram
doesn't show a connection to the defrost button.

Q: Does the AC system uses a thermostat switch before
engaging the A/C clutch? Answer: Yes.

Q: Does the AC turn on when the cabin is warm? Answer:
Probably. It's always cold when I run the engine only at
midnight. It works fine the last summer. I will run it for 15 min
and see if A/C comes on.

Q: What type of A/C? Answer: R-12.

Thanks, Tibur
