    While in the process of troubleshooting a vacuum problem I noticed something.

    When turning the climate controls to either just window vent or window and floor vent (orange images) the A/C clutch will engage. Turning it to the 2 other vents (white images) it will turn off. It does turn back on when MAX is selected.

    Is this normal?
