Is it just the light on or the actual a/c compressor is on?

On 2002-2009 s2ks, the AC will run automatically when the defroster is on. There is a simple mod to "fix" this

-with the key on, make sure all lights are off on the heat and ac system. turn both dials to the left.

-turn keyy off

-while holding down the AC button AND the recirc button, turn the ignition key on (dont start the engine) and just wait. one of the lights will blink a few times, then the other will come on solid. now you can let go of the buttons.

The AC will still come on with the defroster, but now you can hit the AC button and turn it off

This is a neat mod, but the defroster does work 10X better with the AC on depending on weather conditions. Its how you dehumidify the car also.

Depending on humidity. If it's dry it won't make much difference.
