Strange Noise I took my car out for a spin this afternoon since the weather was nice. When I started to back the car into the garage I heard a strange high pitch noise. I took a video of it.
Could anyone possibly tell me what it is?

Well I just took the car to the shop and it is the A/C clutch plate. The tech brought me in to see. The plate is rubbing and metal shavings are flying everywhere. When he turns off the A/C the noise stops. He said they don't sell the clutch separate. So I have to buy the /C compression unit. Installed will cost me $900.
Here's another $900! Car will be ready in a few hours.

Car is back to normal now! The manager gave me a $100 discount. I only had to pay $806 (still expensive, but better than $900)!
The tech showed me my old parts. Here are some pictures. You can see the metal shavings on the A/C unit and some in the filter as well.

lol, its never ending! Yesterday, my brake & ABS INOP light came on. Later on, the brake light went off, but the ABS INOP light is still on.
I have read through several threads/forums where others have had the issue. I checked the sensors (front) and the wires seem to be good and the third brake light is working. I'm not sure what else it could be. Maybe a bad ABS module? I'm getting the ABS light scanned later; I'll post the code when I receive it.

Well, I found out what the ABS INOP light was coming from. The cable on the front the ABS Module was not plugged in all the way. Not sure how it became partially disconnected, but at least it's fixed!
