A/C still blows cold air when off

[primetime]

I press the off button after it gets cold, and the display gives the appearance that the system has been turned off, but cold air still comes through the vents. Is this normal, or is there something wrong?

You got it on recirc or fresh air?

Did you tilt the moonroof. The cold air still blow in from the air vent if your sunroof is tilted.

The moonroof has nothing to do with the air blowing. kvndoom has it correct. If you have the vents set to fresh air (light off), they will still allow air to flow.

When the sunroof is open or tilted, it is causing more air to be pulled through the cabin so the vents pulls more air in. Same thing happens with a window opened.

I would change the A/C relay, it's a pretty cheap ($10) part. In looking back to a problem I had with my A/C recently it was doing the same thing. The next series of events was my battery being drained by something when the car was off and when my car was running the A/C pressure release valve popping off.

I'm by no means an expert, just my $.02.

Do you notice the a/c kick off when you turn it off? Turn the radio off, run the a/c, then turn it off and see if you notice it.

Put the temperature in the middle so it wont blow cold air

If it's cold/cool outside, it will blow cold/cool air even when turned off.

when you cut the a/c off, press the recirculate button.

Think if it's on a defrost setting it will blow cold even if ac shows off, though then it shouldn't blow out the vents, useless post by me :/

To turn the AC off, press the AC button until you see AC off in the display. Pressing on/off will not turn the AC off. If you don't see AC off in the display, your AC compressor is On.

Yea, I use the A/C button on the right side to turn off A/C. Pressing the Auto button so the light is off just means its in manual. After that, It may blow cold for a minute or two until the coils warm up to the outside air temp.
