Compressor engaging while vent is on?

I noticed this morning that my compressor is engaging when I have the vent and floor (first turn clockwise from off position) position turned on.
Any idea what would cause this?

Would like to know also. Mine does the same. Mine is a 2000 if that matters.

It's caused by the design. It is supposed to come on in that position. It will not come on in vent only, floor only, and off. The compressor runs in all other positions.

Yep, what Mark said.

First noticed Ford doing that when I got my '99 Lightning and that first click clockwise had cooler than ambient air coming thru the vents.
