Default question about a/c and a/t on a 850 turbo

[X(]I have a 95 volvo 850 turbo and i have two questions to the tech.

On my ac?i have notice the my ac compressor engage as soon the i move the key to the 2nd position and the ac stay on at all
times and i have check all wiring to make sure there are no bypass on any area so any idea why ?
i have also check to make sure that the control is not on the defrost setting.

On my transmision my car has already 105k miles and i have no record if the previous owner replace the fluid and i have notice
that the color is kind of brown so did you think that i should replace the fluid?

thank you.

Not sure about your AC problem, maybe your clutch has seized.

Flush your transmission I believe the recommended interval is every 70K.

The clutch might be melted or the gap is to close to the pulley.

Also there should not be a request for the A/C all the time.You can disconnect the low pressure switch and see if the compressor kicks off.


As far as the trans I would flush it and get clean fluid in there,

compressor goes off.
