2006 Civic A/C and Defrost together
When I first got my car every time I put the defrost on, the A/C would come
on with it. It no longer does that, or at least I don't think it does.
Is the A/C light supposed to come on when I put it in defrost or is the A/C
is some sort of stealth mode? I thought the light did come on, but it's been
months since I last used the defrost.
That all being said, I just had the car in for service recently and I'm
thinking they disabled the A/C + Defrost feature. If that's the case, how do
I turn it back on? Or is something like that in the manual?

I turned on the defrost in my 06 civic the other night, and the AC light did
not come on....I didnt bother reaching up to see if the air was A/C cold,
but it did clear the fog rather quickly....

I believe it's in stealth mode. It comes on, but the light doesn't.
AC is necessary for defrosting, down to a certain temperature. Below a
certain temperature, it won't come on even if you hit the button.

This morning I wasn't sure because it was 5°C, but this afternoon it was
15°C and the light didn't come on.
I can't remember what it was in my Monte Carlo, but I think it wasn't until
the outside temp was below 0°C that the compressor wouldn't come on at all,
no matter what you did.

Re: 2006 Civic A/C and Defrost together
One thing to note per the manual is that once the defroster is on, and
then switched to vent mode, the A/C remains on in "stealth mode". You
need to turn the A/C on and off to disable it.
I would rather see the indicator light on when the compressor is running
whether in defrost of A/C mode.
Check your manual, or was it in the 10 page Honda Civic for dummies (the
quick start guide).
