air is always coming out of my air vents even if i have the dial set at 0 and not just a little. If i have the dial set at cool its colder and warm its hotter. is this how its suppose to be? anyway i can just turn it off? i have never seen a car do this

 

thats normal if you really want it turned off set it to recirculate that way it'll turn off the freash aire intake

 

every car is like that if you have recirculate turned off

 

I turn it to the two dots on the left side near defrost. Then the air is less noticeable.

 

just hit the recirculate button.. no air blows at all

 

didn't know that, thanks.

 

np thats what we're here for

 

Don't always leave it on reciruclate because you will start to get a bad smell from the a/c if you do.

I had this same problem and I almost always leave it off now and just leave it on defrost to blow the air upward.

 

sure you just don't have bad gas? jk

 

^ LOL I wish that was all it was. No but seriously I did have that problem this past summer. I left the a/c on while it was recirculating and there was a "mildew" smell coming from the vents. It was pretty gross.

 

Hmmmmm mildew... moisture is so great....NOT

 

run the heater for a while or switch it to fresh aire for the last five minutes of your drive

 

This is all I do now and before I turn the vehicle off I just hit the recirculate button. It's been working fine so far.

 

I think you need to slip a ferret down there with some Clorox bleach wipes. Mildew killed, problem solved.

 

Another good reason to leave it on fresh air is to prevent your windows from fogging up. One thing I do to prevent mildew from the A/C is before arriving at my destination, I turn the A/C off and let it blow all of that cold air out. It seems to work wonders for preventing the smell. I usually try to give it at least one minute to blow the cold air out.
