If the Off position is 12 o'clock, the 1 o'clock position (1st position to the right) is bi-level output (air from the dash vents and from the heater vents below). The A/C is ON in this position, believe it or not.
So, there's nothing to fix. This is how it was designed to work.
To avoid using the A/C (and killing your gas mileage), use either the vent position (11 o'clock) or the heater position (2 o'clock). The A/C is also on in the two defrost positions, to help reduce the humidity when defogging the windows.

Most likely the switch. Wonder if it also runs when heater is in "off"
