Hmm... don't know where the hell I got 68 degrees. The a/c clutch really is
controlled with a thermistor in front of the evaporator (just not at 68
apparently). I just ran mine to see what it is supposed to do. The
compressor turns on above 40F and off at 32-34F. When the temp gets up to 90
or so outside, my compressor runs almost continuously. With the sun on the
car, it never does get comfortable.
