Water dripping on ground under front passenger foot-well. AC was off.

I was running errands all day and parked in the garage when I got home. About 4 hours later I pull the car out to load some items and notice about 1/4 cup of water had dripped on one spot and streamed towards the bay door, right from under the front passengers feet.

The day was overcast so I didn't run the AC, BUT, I did have the vents turned to "windshield & feet" and have a vague recollection that some cars will run the AC if you have the windshield vents active, and not light up the little AC light in the center console.

So it could be condensation but just want to check.

Yup
Nearly all cars, do this, some turn on the A/C indicator, but many don't provide any visual indication that the A/C is "ON"

Your A/C was Infact - on.

Oh cool, I just figured the defog button covered that function so the car wouldn't nanny me. I had no idea there was a cheat code to disable the defog logic.

I swear some day I'll take a week off and read the Stinger bible/manual front to back. Hopefully in a hammock by the lake.

This seems to kinda work. Now when I cycle through the vents the AC light comes on when I toggle to the windshield mode. Now I can manually turn the AC off every time, but I wish it just left it off after the first time, that's kinda the whole point.
At least now I know when the AC is running.


And when it says "press the air intake control button" it's the "interior circulation button" as pictured, not that anyone would screw it or anything...
