For those wondering....I've replaced the AC Control unit with a used one (Thanks Pavrom!!) and the problem hasn't come back yet (Fingers crossed).
Also got to have a nice little coding session with Simon in the process of replacing this thing so at least some good came out of this!
Thanks everyone!

I have the same issue that the A/C starts on its own out of nowhere, sometimes I shut it off and it comes back on almost immediately.. This happen once in a blue, so it never bothered me.
I kind an idea now as of what could it be thanks to you, but not ready to spend $500+ yet.

I also have a hunch that if you install a USED control unit that it doesn't require programming. But don't quote me on that
If I were you I would pay someone to look for faults. If its determined that your control unit is going bad then you can make the decision to do the swap. Also, its a VERY easy install. No need to pay someone to swap out the units.
Hope this helps.

So the problem is back
Theres a couple possibilities at this point...the first is that I recieved a used Control Unit that was on its way out.
The second is that its something completely different.
Thinking about taking this to the dealer now....anyone got any interesting ideas??
