the only reason they would run all the time from start up is as mentioned...the AC is on at start up.

oil life has nothing to do with it but you better change your oil soon as some folks here have a melt down if the OLM goes below 50%

No the A/C is off, howrver a few days ago I removed the Automatic ElectricDual Climate Control System box from the dash to see if I could replace bulbs as some have over time burned out. I didn't alter the circuit boards but maybe in putting the box back together I have the a/c button inside pushed in by the rubber interface or something.
