Believe it or not, the compressor runs all the time on these systems.

I do have the Unwired Tools A/C servo replacement for Mercedes cars. My car has the AutoTemp II system that Chrysler sold to Mercedes in 1975. I'm not sure if it'll stop the full time compressor or not.

We are brothers and sisters doing time on the planet for better or worse. I'll take the better, if you don't mind.
