Air conditioning compressor noise
I've noticed when running my AC or defrost that I hear a ticking noise. I think it has to be coming from the compressor but not 100% sure. Has anybody had this issue before? Car is a 2000 Z28
I did a search but didn't find anything with definite answers.
Thanks for any help.

Hmm, thanks for the video. Mine more of a tick....tick...tick sounds though. I'd put up a vid but the car is really ripped apart right now. Maybe I'm lucky and will just find something wrong with the clutch instead of the whole compressor. I'll see what I can find out on it this weekend.
Thanks
Thanks

I checked it out again and don't see anything wrong with the clutch. I'm just going to buy a new compressor. Where is the best place/price to get one?
Thanks guys.

if you physically stare at it and you can see it is cycleing -(engageing and disengageing) it may be something as simple as a low charge on the system, it does not always mean it is going to break. Easy check is to put a set of manifold gauges on and read the pressures. if they are low it will cycle the compressor very quickly.

True, always start with your pressure readings.
