Check the switch on the auto disconnect. It's located on the tight side of the front axle. The switch is opposite the vacuum actuator and has two wire coming from it. It sounds like its stuck or grounding out

Actually, the switch is on the firewall. Passenger side near the blower motor. Kinda funky blue color.
