Hi guys, new guy here. Don't know if this is a fault or not.

Recently aquired a 2008 1.8 zetec diesel Focus and on the whole very pleased with it apart from the horrendous dead spot between 1000 & 1500 rpm...man I HATE that!.

Anyway back to the question.

Each time I get in and drive off, I notice the aircon light is on. Each time I turn it off and next time its on again, doesnt matter if the temp dial is in blue, white or red. Is this normal or is there a fault, if so any idea what it could be.

Thanks for any help.

Having the same problem on my 07 1.6 focus, only seems to happen when the dial is set to demist windscreen, wondering if there may be a short causing the switch to pick up a live feed?

Goin to have a look at the air con button but I cannot find out how to remove the silver plastic facia, do I need to remove the radio its a cd 6000 factory fitted model

found out from another source that this is normal as an aid to demisting the windscreen
