I noticed that in my 2012 Mazda5 that the AC will turn on automatically when the air blend selection is set to front defrost (so either front defrost on its own or while also blowing on your feet, accessed through either the defrost dedicated button or through the air blend mode selector button). It does this automatically, regardless of the "AC" button, and does not light up the LED in the "AC" button. I would prefer that the AC not automatically come on when defrosting - there are plenty of times where I want the air blowing across the windshield but don't need the parasitic drag and hit to fuel economy caused by running the AC.
Is there a way to accomplish this (so AC comes on ONLY with the AC button pressed, not automatically with defrost), short of wiring up a manual switch to the AC compressor?
