AC/Heat Circulation light
Hey folks, hope everybody that got some of the winter snow in VA are digging out ok!
Have a small question about my indicator light on the heat/ac panel. Every pic i have seen on this site shows that the "Circulation " button is lit up. Meaning that it is on? I try to cut mine off but it stays lit. Is this just an HHR issue where it is made to stay on like the older GM heater/ac motors use to run as long as the switch was on, always on low for circulation in the car. Wasn't Shure. Not hurting anything just wondering?.
Thx! BTW i did do a search, just did not have the time to read all 2000 comments. LOL

See my sig for a Owner Manual.
Recirc only works when AC is on, not floor or defrost.
The AC button lights up when pushed to turn AC compressor on.
Defrost turns the AC compressor on with no notification

thx folks!
Mine is the "FRESH AIR" button on the left. stays lit up soon as i start up the vehicle, no matter what i do to try to cut it off. Wondering if i have to go to the dealership and have them get it back on line or ???? Just kidding DB. lol. Ill check the manual. Im used to the recirculation switch lighting up when the AC/defrost is on, just never had a Fresh air switch that stays on with or with out the AC/ heat/defrost or fans controlled by the climate control panel.
thx

Hey Mike,
The fresh air light is always on when the car is started unless the recirculating button is pushed.
This is inform you of the stautus of the fresh air door position.
Removes the quess work.
The nuances of our little trucklets.

Really? We give you valid information and where to find more information, and we need fresh air?
