I would 1st check your fuses to make sure all are good. Fuse testers are cheap.
Next, I would try your blower motor sensor. On American cars it;s under the dash, easily accessible with just a few screws and 1 plug in. They range in prices, not sure about yours.
lastly, I would think about replacing your unit (switches). If too expensive, try a junk yard, they are always cheaper.

Good luck,hope this helps

Normally the ac shouldnt be starting when you turn on the vehicle. This shows that there is a faulty ac switch. You need to check the ac switch and then followed by the ac thermostat.
