Re: vent selector
Actually, ALL vehicles with AC (to my knowledge) run the AC in defrost mode.
My point was that my wife's Pontiac and MANY other vehicles allow you to
choose (with a separate button) whether on not to run the AC in all the
other vent modes. Seems to me, that this is a desirable feature that should
be standard on all vehicles with AC.

My 1990 BroncoII had a separate button for A/C on/off. (the A/C was
