I just fixed this issue by taking the whole ac controller apart and having some thin foam near the knobs. The controls are loosely house. I also rebent the contact points. So far so good my ac is now not turning on itself.

i was under the impression that this was caused by our automatic climate control systems. i.e. the climate control was sensing too much or too little humitdy etc. Boy was i wrong.

In the manual it says cool is turned on when you are in auto mode. See "Switching Cooling On and Off" section. Page 117 in 2009 manual. It is done to avoid condensation.
