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.

Your compressor cycles during AC or defrost, so it's probably related to something on that system.
I would check the belt tensioner first since it's seperate for AC. Might also be the comp clutch or bearing, or worst of all the comp itself.

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.
