kinda of a stupid question here, but is the a/c clutch suppose to come on when I request heat in the car?  I hear the a/c clutch turning and on and off as I'm driving.  Not sure if this is normal.  Looking for some guidance so that I can properly diagnose this issue.

If the mode is set to windshield to defrost, the compressor will come on.

Thanks buddy. I will proceed to check the different settings. You taught me something new.
