Have you pressed the button to bring the light on, then pushed it again turning it back off? If not, try that and see if it keeps it off.

I have not pressed the A/C button to bring the light on and then pressed it again to turn it off. I will try that later.
 
Thank you.

It has been a while since I did this, but one way to know if it is working is if the a/c light comes on when you turn on the defog.
 
As you know, normally the a/c light will not come on - but the compressor will be running. If the a/c light comes on and you can then push the button and turn it off, then the hack should be working.
 
I don't have the instructions in front of me now, but I do know that one important thing is that everything is set up correctly when you start the sequence off. I will try to look into it a little more this weekend. Good Luck.

Thank you for finding that for me. I will be trying again soon. Hopefully this time I can get the light to come on so I can be sure it works.

I followed the directions to a T and for some unknown reason my A/C button will not light up. Then when I go to verify if it worked or not the A/C light doesn't come on when I select defrost and turn the fan on.
 
I must be doing something wrong. Thank you for trying to help anyway.
 
Just so I can be sure "top vent" is the one with the arrow pointing at the face of the little stick figure? And not the defrost button that only shoots air out the top vents?

I'm sure dudley or grad will come along and give you a hand. I have the navi system so the hack won't work for me because of the different controls.

Yeah I'm sure they will. Thank you for your response.
 
Now that I think about it dudley has an SE, I think, and grad has the EX. So I'm almost wondering if it only works on trim levels above LX. I went searching for an answer in some other forums and found directions very similar to the directions listed on this website with a slight modification, but they are for the Civic and the RSX. They said something about having 3 knobs instead of two.

The climate controls are the same, but the unit is actually different, so I suppose that is possible. The LX (single CD) models have the old looking LCD, with the SE and EX having the white on blue look (6CD).
 
LX (coupe, but some CD player)

 
SE

So I've been doing it the way it should be done and it still won't work. The recirculation button will flash, but the A/C button will not flash. I'm thinking that I will be preemptively replacing my battery since I'm pretty sure it's original and I had minor issues with it last winter and when I do that maybe it'll reset the car to default, maybe I've thrown it out of wack with all of my failed attempts.
 
I'm probably misreading something. I don't know how I could be, but user error is a big theme in my life . Dudley of grad if you can think of something that I may be missing please let me know because I'm going nuts trying to figure out why it won't work.
 
Thanks for all the help.
