why not leave it the way it is and turn the temp up to heat.....then it'd
be just like defrost mode, dehumidifying and heating?

Even in those vehicles, like Chevys, in defrost settings, the compressor
kicks in regardless whether the AC switch is on.

Many vehicles WITH an A/C button still run it in defrost mode, even when
the button is "OFF", you just don't know it. <G>

FWIW, running the compressor in the off-season is actually good for it,
and was often recommended in manuals before automatic A/C in defrost mode.
