Why is climate control always on?

[Bradster]

Question:

I have been updating a 97 base that I bought a few months ago. Thanks to many of you, I am almost finished. One item that baffles me, however, is that the climate control always comes on when I first start the car even though, as the weather is nice this time of year in Virginia, I always cut it off and leave it off while driving. I have never seen a car, especially a convertible, that assumes that you always want the climate control system in the "on" position. A minor issue in the grand scheme of things to be sure, but I thought I would ask the group anyway.

Thanks.

I have a '97 and what you see is how it works. Mine does the same thing. Just normal!

It's a pain and a very poorly thought out deployment..

Hey thanks guys. I guess normal is "normal." Thanks again.
