A/c problems of course when it gets hot teh a/c goes out right?
the other day I noticed with the A/c on there was an audible click/whir only when the A/c was on. it almost sounds like something is in the blower motor but it goes away as soon as the A/c button is off and the fan still blowing air so im thinking it may be the compressor clutch trying to engage. Ive not done a pressure check on the system as I dont believe that to be the issue since I can hear a noise.
I guess my question is if the refrigerant is low will the compressor make a noise , or if its the clutch is there a repair or do I need to replace the compressor?

So plugged up the gauges car had been setting g over night so it was in the garage and 75ish degrees. Let it run for a bit and put the a/c on cold and full blast. Got 65-70 (it kept bouncing and 125 on the high side. Guessing my expansion valve is stuck

Well took it to a shop I trust and found out the compressor is toast. Atleast they were nice to me and told me what parts I needed cause their parts house was stupid overpriced (his words haha) Looks like i got a plan for the weekend.....
