How do u disable A/C in Taurus??

It's easy to do this, but I think you will be disappointed with the fogging in the vehicle.

Simply pull the connector to the A/C clutch.

The A/C cycling during the winter help keep up the system integrity, too... seals & Lubrication, etc.

Or flush your heater core......Its plugged or it would give you more then enough heat with the a/c on

Good point - I forgot that this is a notorious vehicle for this ailment

- and it's 9 years old!

I'd just unplug it from the Compressor. You shouldn't get any codes or damage anything.

If you plan on keeping it, just splice a wire into one of the plug wires and put a switch inside. Hank

There a b*tch to reach, just unplug the pressure switch

Would pulling the A/C fuse do the same thing, I think it would have a spearate fuse for just the A/C (or maybe not?)

outside 40' or colder air or air passing through a 40' evaporator coil.

your logic is defective.

return your brain to its lock box, you are not using it properly

Usually, the compressor only runs when in Defrost mode, and maybe defrost/floor. It should NOT run in floor or floor/vent mode.

Also, it usually only runs when the temperatures are above freezing. Before yanking wires, double-check and verify if it's even running on very cold days, or in floor modes.

RZ opined in news: snipped-for-privacy@corp.supernews.com:

johanb is right, usually the pressure switch connector (on accumulator) is easier to get to..

and the others are right, as well, notorious for blockages, flush the core directly and also check the blend door for proper operation.

Check rad when cold; coolant should be at the filler cap

It is considerably colder, but it's not cold by any means. When it's 25 degrees here, I only have to set my heat to the very middle to remain comfortable running mine on MAX to recirculate cabin air. If I suck outside air, I may move it up a little toward heat, but I have NEVER run it on full heat before.

ANd if you cannot dry the air, you WILL regret it, especially on damp nights when the temperature is low and your windows start fogging up.

Even in Canada, I can't imagine it being so cold that a car's heater can't keep you warm. Perhaps your heater core is partially clogged. My '98 Sable had a clogged heater core. I got absolutely no heat at all, and it was insanely cold in the car when I had to run the air conditioner when it was 30 degrees outside just to do my best to keep the windows defogged. I would shiver all the way home during my 38-mile nightly highway commute.
