Civic defroster
 
I have an 02 civic hx with dealer installed a/c. Should I use the
recirculate button when I turn the defroster on? Its usually very humid
here near the ocean.

No. In many cars the recirculate option is disabled when the defroster is
on.

You should use the A/C, but not the recirculate option.

when you turn the defrost on the a/c kicks in, but the light doesn't turn

I have these directions for 2001-2003 Civics. I would think that they would
work for newer models, but I'm not sure.

(1) Turn Car Off

(2) Turn Temperature Knob To Full Blue (All the way to the left)

(3) Turn Vent Knob To Off (All the way to the left)

(4) Hold Down Air Recirculation Button As Well As A/C Button. NOT THE
DEFROSTING BUTTON.

(5) Turn the car on to two (ll) . The recirculation blinks ONCE and the AC
blinks once.

You will now have control of your A/C regardless of what setting you are in,
to revert back, simply repeat the procedure.

Make sure you hold on to the two buttons before you turn on the car. Hold it
until after the AC button blinks. The recirculation button blinks first than
the AC. Make sure you're not holding on the Defrosting button for the rear
window

Re: Civic defroster
 
really so doing this will disable it until you do it again, not just until
the next time you start your car?
I have a 05 civic, I shall have to try it out on

From what I understand it will remain that way until you enable it.

I tried it on my 05 civic and the recirc button flashed a bunch of times and
that was it...a/c still kicks in when you put it to defrost.
