Its not stuck it goes in it and out but it just stays on ECON,
Please I need help, its getting really hot!!!
How do I get my ECON off
Can I reset the panel?

It is likely that your A/C has lost its charge. When the A/C is not functioning properly, the climate control goes into econ mode to protect the compressor. I'm guessing that wherever you take it will:

1) recharge the system
2) do an inspection for leaks (using dye)
3) recommend replacement of the leaking parts (assuming that there are some)
4) discharge the system to replace parts
5) recharge the system again

Because of the multiple charges, it can get expensive.

Good luck!

Did you ever find your problem? Mine started doing this today.

When mine started doing this, it was due to a punctured condenser unit. So, like gijsd says, your unit isn't holding a charge.

I would do a pressure test before dumping new refrigerant into a already leaky system.

I ended up having to replace the condenser

($1200) incl labour

I had the same problem after pulling off the front end of the car.

It was because I forgot to plug in the pressure sensor for the A/C condenser. It's that little plug to the right (facing the front of the car) of it.

Plugged it back in and A/C worked perfectly!
