Re: Modern AC Compressor in a 6-Volt Car

Cadillac compressors did not cycle until about 1980. On the 60's era cars, when you moved the temperature lever toward warmer, you'd hear some kind of "hiss" as the air temp changed. Climate control did not have the compressor cycle, either. I still have a '74 Cadillac with working Climate Control (in my family for years) and the compressor is always on, if the CC is on. This was true from '64 up, we had several of these cars and they never iced up, either. Was this bypass in use that long?
