The 'Econ' Button
So what exactly does the Econ Button on the ECC do?
I though it just slowed down the cooling(or heating) process to save a litttttle more gas, but since it got hotter outside i noticed that it just blows hot/warm air...

1992 to 1993? Bonnevilles with ECC dont have a specific bi-level option, normally it will go into bi level mode around 24 celcius on the climate control...usually..mine would anyway...regardless. bi level just means floor and panel vents at the same time, divides up were the air is going.
I know on my 97 the Mode button will change the area of flow

Also on my car the ECON button does nothing when the defrost is engaged. The light will still stay on, but the compressor still engages as it should.
Even if you run with a split between defrost and floor heat it will still engage the compressor.
