I dont even know what it is anymore. Don't cars use mostly DC anyway?



Now I gotta see if there is an audible difference between Max and High speed/Recirc-On in my car. I dont think there is. I always figured the Max button was just a quick, one button step to get to Max Blower Motor speed/Lowest Temp setting/Center Vents.

Ex: Get in the car on a hot day, dont fuck with multiple knobs and buttons, just hit "Max" and away it goes.

I keep mine set to "Auto" most of the time so it will basically run on "Max" until it hits my preset temp.

BUT, just pushing "Auto" always leaves Recirc turned off. You have to then turn it on...I think it's just another way to justify having the "Max" button at all though

I've heard about these but never worked on any yet. Are they similar to a Sanden style compressor but with a variable Swash Plate?

Nah, it is like an automatic transmission that also does bellybutton piercings

"For the loosers..." Insults really lose their punch when the author misspells basic words.

Sanden style sounds right. The constant On/Off is noisy and wears out the magnetic clutch. I'm not sure if it's any cheaper, though.
