Whats the real difference between have the a/c button on yellow or on green? Yellow is when its pushed in half way and green when its in all the way
 
Anyone can correct me ....yellow indicates the air is on. Green indicates it is on "max a/c." setting.

"When the yellow light is on, the air conditioner delivers cold air when the interior of the car is hot and then gradually tempers the air as the interior of the car cools down. This is done by gradually changing the temperature set points at which the compressor cycles to higher temperatures."

"When the green light is on the air conditioner cycles off when the oulet temperature of the evaporator drops to 37 degrees and cycles on when it rises to 39 degrees. In other words, cold air all of the time. Of course, as in really hot weather, the evaporator temperature may take a long time to drop to 37 degress, and this is going to depend on the condition of the system too, making you think it never cycles."
 
When the yellow light is on the a/c put's out cold air when the inside of the car is HOT, then gradually even's the temp. out as the inside cool's down some. They do this by having th a/c comprssor cycle on at higher temp's.
When the green light is on the a/c will cycle on/off when temp's go below 37*F, and above 39*F from the outlet pipe of the evap.

Hope this help's you, if you need a clearification just post up.

EDIT: HAHA ^^^ quoted straight from 1000QA, I forgot about that.
