You are not crazy...

However, the ACC system gets a bad rap. My car is 35 years old and the system works perfectly, even with a 10 year old Mantis servo.

The key to correct operation is in-car and ambient temp sensors that operate within range and a temp wheel without gaps in its signal.

Vacuum pods are not that hard to change. My center vent pod lasted 35 years and was only recently replaced. The foam hose to the in-car temp sensor must also be intact.

#1 case of blown ACC fuses, and one that is almost always blamed on the servo, is a shorted A/C low pressure switch.

I will be happy to offer support to anyone with ACC problems....Robert
