AC relay advice needed

**jamaicanmecrazy** · 11-09-2016 09:42 AM

Good morning guys.
The AC condenser was damaged prior to me getting the car from a nice old lady who bumped into
A truck with a ball hitch on it. My plan was to fix it before next spring.
I do understand why the AC is stuck on the Econ,but I have two questions.

1 Can I still get proper heating temps? 2 Can I pull a fuse or relay to kill the AC but still have power for the blower to get hot air.
Basically I'm wondering if by being stuck in Econ I'm not getting the proper heat temps. Thanks ps 03 allroad

You'll be fine. Nothing you can do aside from fixing it. The A/C clutch will not lock up so the compressor will not run unless the problems are fixed. So, the worst you're looking at is it may take an extra minute or two to get to full warm up (the compressor running puts an extra load on the engine and actually helps it warm up a little faster). And a little more annoying condensation/ fogging in the car when it's cold out. Engine heating and cooling will be normal- shouldn't have any problems there.
So, you just fix it...or live with it.
