My AC compressor is always on. I've resorted to unplugging the compressor, but this means no AC. Also my aux. fan is always on.
Mechanical problems are fine, but I'm not too good with electrical ones. Anybody have an idea what could be wrong or how I should start to diagnose this problem?

My first guess would be the climate control inside the car. I guess you would need to pull it out and test continuity across the a/c switch in either toggle position. In a recent thread it was stated that the aux fan is always on with the a/c, so that part sounds normal.
