Bad A/C Compressor? A couple weeks ago I started having the dreaded squeaky belt/pulley problem. I found the noise was coming from the AC belt and I replaced it and the noises were gone. A week or so after replacing the belt a new, much worse noise started happening (see video below).
This noise only happens when the AC is on and goes away the second I turn it off. First I plan to get a new AC belt and switch it with the one I just put on in case Autozone gave me the wrong size belt for some reason. I figure there's somewhat of a possibility it could be this since the noise started soon after I changed the belt.
I'm afraid it most likely is the compressor and wanted to get some other opinions before I go spending a bunch of money to replace it.
