    Hello,

    Is there a trick to turning of the A/C? When I push the button, the green light stays on and it won’t turn the A/C off

    I’m wondering if it has something to do with ambient temperature (?) Since I purchased the truck new, it’s been REALLY hot in So Cal.

    Thanks for the help...

    PS - yes, I’ve read the owners manual

    Do you have the defroster on, I think it has to keep the AC on in that position

    Had the same issue! Turn the A/C down one notch so it's not on "Max A/C" then you can shut it off.

    Not fan speed. Temperature. Turn it just a bit warmer - you’ll feel a detent, and you’ll then be able to turn off AC.

    You're a genius - it works. Thanks a million!

    PS - NO mention of this in my manual (?)
