A/C switch problem, getting worse - 4/21/2008 3:33:27 PM    oneBADDz   Posts: 2 Joined: 1/25/2007 Status: offline I tried a search and couldn't come up with anything.  My 02 Protege5 began having a problem where the a/c would not function on the #2 fan setting.  Eventually it stopped working in the #3 setting as well, and now it onyl functions in teh #1 setting and I don't really know where to start looking for an answer.  The fan works, but in 2,3,4 the light on the a/c button goes out and the a/c cuts off.  Also, it used to cut out intermitently when on setting 3 and recirculate with the floor vents blowing, but when changed to full face vent it would work, as if a temp switch was shutting it down for getting too cold, but only on that one fan setting Thanks ahead of time for any suggestions!
