I would think turning on the A-C would increase the coolant temperature on any vehicle. Please explain how running the AC will reduce coolant temps. Thanks
Turning on the ac would increase coolant temp because the hot refrigerant needs to be cooled through the condenser which is in front of the radiator, although the fan needs to come on so it would accomplish turning the fan on at least.

Oh I will explain and prove it no worries. Give me about 2 hrs. But if you think that the compressor runs all the time you are wrong. Just like the fridge it cycles as for the refrigerant to not freeze the pipes/clutch. The heat exchange is actually different than how you think
The compressor does not run all of the time but the heat it removes for the cabin has to go somewhere.
