Hi teamlacaro, Are you sure the AC fan *and* the heater didn't come on? Personally, I find that annoying and simply turn the AC fan off by turning the AC breaker on the electric panel off. fred ------------- 2014 RPod 178 => https://goo.gl/CV446f - MyMods and Buying Habits 2008 4Runner Limited 4.0-liter V6 Yes, those are wild ponies dining on grass while dumping tanks! |

Check the thermostat to see if the fan setting is Auto. With the digital thermostats that will allow the A/C fan (not the compressor) to run at the same time as the heater. I agree with Fred that it can be annoying, although there have been times when using the A/C's fan at the same time helped to get the heat more evenly distributed. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual

Thanks for the quick response. I was so preoccupied with the fan I didn't even check to see if the heater went on. I will check tonight. ------------- Team LaCaro RPOD Enthusiast |

I had it backwards. See this thread for a discussion (set it to Auto, not High or Low).

On mine:
You're done. Now, when the heater comes on, the blower on the a/c will stay off. ------------- John & Teri Tundra 5.7L V8 / RP 180 E2 WDH / Integrated controller (POS) replaced by Tekonsha P3 |
