Default me too... >

Isn't there some way to check air flap position from reading the vent panel readout? I vaguely remember this but keep forgetting to check my Bentley at home...

Default Econ OFF = A/C ON. ECON On (LED illuminated) means the A/C is off.

Don't know if it changed for certain years but I don't have an A/C button. Just the Econ button and when Econ is illuminated that means the A/C is off. When Econ is not illuminated then the A/C can go on as needed.

Default really, what year? I have...

a big pull out button for a/c (light is on when a/c is off) and a small button for econ, if both are off then just the a/c light is on (which means its off). that seams weird. do you have a picture of your a/c controls?

for as long as I've owned it I could have everything off and no air comes in through the vents, now its like I have econ on all the time.

Default Think we have a confusion of terms here.

Big pull out button on the left turns off the entire climate control system. When the system is on the Econ button controls whether the a/c compressor is on or off. Econ On = A/C compressor off, Econ Off= A/C compressor on if needed. SO I think ours are the same, just different terms.
