Gang,
Can you help me troubleshoot? I live in Italy with an FPO address and it takes a while for parts to ship here from the US. I want to make sure I'm ordering the right part rather than wait for the part to arrive and find out I'm wrong.
I'm pretty sure the AC compressor clutch has failed. It's making a terrible clicking noise when the AC is on. It's silent when it's off. When it's on, I can disconnect the electrical connector just behind the pulley and it goes silent again. I swapped the AC relay with the fan relay in the fuse box with no change.
I had the compressor replaced at 90,000 miles, which was four years ago. I'm pretty sure I don't need to replace the whole compressor and clutch assembly so I'm just trying to order the clutch.
Is there anything else I should try to re-assure myself that I only need the clutch?
Thank you.
