#1 of 27 A/C shut off on 91 Corolla by halralph

My daughter just purchased a 91 Corolla, if you don't shut the A/C off prior to shutting off the engine the battery will discharge while parked. What device is causing this to happen?

Just got a 1988 Corolla. The ac compressor does not kick in. There is refrigerant in the system. The fuse panel says the ac circut breaker is behind the assist kick panel.
Does any one know where this is?

Can you indicate whether the radiator fans are running, the inside cabin heater/airconditioning fan is running, or nothing that you can see/hear.

I don't know for sure, as not familiar with that year Corolla. But I'd guess a kick panel might be down on the side where your left foot would rest.

Unfortunately the car is on the Island of Grenada and the driver, my daughter is home for the summer from school. The only thing I know is that she was told to not leave the A/C switch in the "on" position when she shut the car off or the battery would discharge. I talked to a Toyota service writer friend and he said a Toyota Tech said it was probably the A/C compressor clutch. They had seen the same problem with 91 Corollas.

There's three things that come to mind which can draw current and are associated with the A/C. The radiator fan's and the cabin fans would be the two most easily noticeable by her, the clutch (and it's relay) would be the third.
 
If she can rule out the first two by observing them when she turns the car off next time, then I'd be looking to swap out the relay.

#7 of 27 '89 Toyota Corolla A/C / Vent fan not working by cindyo

Jul 19, 2007 (9:47 am)

I've had a problem with my fan/blower not working for my vent/a/c/heat. It will work fine and then not come on for a day and then all of the sudden it will kick on. It's been happening off and on for a year or so. The A/C works, I just had it replaced and I can hear it kick on and feel cool air, it's just the blower won't kick on. Any suggestions?

My light on my my air conditioning button on the dash is blinking. I had the controller replaced but it continues. My mechanics seems to believe that the compressor is working. What else could be the problem? When you press the button, it cools for a few seconds then it starts blinking and the AC cuts off.

#9 of 27 A/C On when off by jtackers

the A/C on our 2003 Corolla will turn itself on, even when the switch is in the off position. Not sure if its a relay or the clutch itself. Has anyone seen this problem?
 
Thanks

It automatically comes on when you use defrost. See owner's manual.
