That's normal. That's the sound of the compressor's clutch activating when you turn your air(or defrost) on.SLVR DOG said:I have had a 2006 now for a few months and loving it. WOW
But, the AC compressor makes a clicking sound when I turn the AC on. Anyone else have this going on?
Thanks

Can't hear it outside the car, but inside with the radio down, the wife usually looks at me and says "what the hell is that???"- I am surprised at how noisy it is. Were the problems with the compressors? If so, I may want to get it looked at before the Maggie goes on next week- that's all I need "well, the excess strain from the blower caused the AC compressor to go bad". Even though they have no leg to stand on, I just don't want the headache. I hate dealing with service departments!!

Have fun with the Maggie.
Operating charicteristic. I've had quite a few customers complain about that.kwiktsi said:Speaking of AC- anyone else's compressor fairly loud at idle?
