littledog: sounds like you have the automatic climate control. I'm not sure why, but its preference is to run the compressor all the time in full auto mode. I guess it's because dry air is easier to change to the correct temperature, plus on cold starts the extra load of the compressor causes the engine to warm up a bit faster because of the extra fuel burned and the condenser will deliver warm air to the radiator.
If you push the "AC" button it will toggle between AC ON and AC OFF. The AC OFF position will stop the compressor from running. Then you can change the temperature setting and/or vent position as you desire without it kicking on the compressor. If you still have it automatically seek a temperature and vent position on its own the display will read "AUTO" instead of "FULL AUTO" as it would if you hadn't engaged AC OFF.
