So after changing out my cooling lines I am constantly looking under the jeep for drips. Coolant lines seem good but I am getting lots of condensation dripping from the AC lines even though the switch is off and it is 50 degrees here in Michigan.

This does not seem right, but I am highly ignorant of AC system operation.

Any thoughts?

The AC runs in more then the AC on mode.Pretty much all the modes now have the AC turned on to de-humitify the cabin air and to prevent fogging up the windows.

Any setting for feet or windshield flow automically run the A/C. Safest best is to run on face setting and A/C won't run. There is a good post in this forum how to modify the selector switch to disable a/c in any setting with a/c switch off

Thanks guys, that explains it.

I was running the windshield defrost/feet setting.
