don't do this mod!

hey there people. Yes the ac is a pump and robs power etc. however there is a really good reason it turrns on with the defrost. There is oil suspended in your refrigerant that keeps all those tight clearance parts in your expensive ac compressor running smooth. when your compressor doesn't run for say 8 months of the year the oil seeps down and parts seize up. when the pump blows you get to replace everything at a huge cost the engineers are smart so to prevent you from replacing your ac system every year or so they attached a trigger wire to your defrost to keep things lubed up. cheers.
