Economy button

Hello everyone, im pretty new here and am learning a lot of about these cars. I have a 2002 audi a4 3.0 quattro and during the spring i turned on the economy button to stop the ac from turnin on and off, well here it is 100 degrees out and the economy button will not turn off and I get warm air. it stays illumnated orange, and when i press the auto button all i get is all the red bars going up blowing my warm outside air, am i missing somethin really big here haha im hoping not to have to bring it to the dealar as I am a conductor engineer on freight trains and it is really busy right now.
Thanks!

Other people have reported this problem as well... Do a search and you should find an answer...

It's most likely your high pressure temp switch that went bad.

mine is on all the time because there is a leak in the system.

hit the recirc button... i always had mine on econ and it was warm.. then i turned on the arrow button and it seemed to get colder... but now i run the a/c non stop on econ so i dont know if that was the problem but when it was really warm hitting that button seemed to help
