Hey guys, My AC, especially on long trips.. will start sounding like it has a cricket in it...literally just has this annoying little tapping noise that is consistent, until I turn it off...and has nothing to do with A/C compressor due to it also sounding in heat. I don't know you think it may be a wheel in one of my air ducts?!

 

i have the same thing...

 

Actually I had this happen to me for the first time, today. I don't know what it is, but it sounded like it was coming from the dash just above the radio.

Oh, and if you aint from flint then its like straight up..**** YOU

lol that song is hilarious flint town flint town fli-fli-fli-fli-flint town

 

I have this same problem, Im bringing mine into the dealer tommorow so ill let oy uknow what happens.

 

HAHAHA...+rep! I'm not actually from Flint, I just go to school there. Lol...whereabouts in MI are you?

Yea please let us know. I've only got 8k left on my warranty so I need to get all this crap taken care of soon if its covered

 

Im near grand rapids

 

oh ok. I'm from Howell originally. Go to school in flint, work in troy. so thats where that mess of locations came from

 

probably going to be a bad blower motor

 

i have the same problem too. i think its something loose in the vents or someting...

or it could be a leek in one of the lines. does your a/c take a while to get cold?

 

No, not really...just about average I guess..Yeah I used to have an 00' Trans Am, and like 3 months before I sold it, it would do the same thing.

 

if your freon was leaking out then the pressure switch would cut power to the a/c compressor. Your a/c wouldn't work at all.

 

I have the same problem with mine... has anyone took theirs in yet?

 

may be its just a turning object in the air compresor or somewhere in the actual mechanism...our systems seem to all work, but just have a noise issue. I have a friend that works at the dealership. I'll see if he can find out for me.

 

I think it's either your blower motor or one of your mode actuators that changes the doors around in the air box. There's usually 2 or 3 different actuators and they can get that clicking noise when they go bad. It can even make the noise when the key is off.

 

Unfortunatley the delaer couldnt get me in today, but I have an appointment on tuesday so I will let yall know as soon as they get it figured out.

 

Yeah I'm also thinking of taking mine in

 

Ok guys, I have found the answer to these sounds. It was the seal on one of the components in the A/C system, Im not sure what part the seal was on but it was a TSB so your delaer knows all about the problem. This also causes a pretty decent leak onto the passanger floor board. The noises were the result of water getting into the A/C system, most likely getting on to the blower motor. Unfortunatly after that problem was fixed the A/C worked perfectly for a day except for a slight burning rubber smell which I figured to be the new seal, well I was driving in my car with the A/C at the 3rd setting when it just stopped. It now only works on full blast. Im hoping this is just the resistor and shouldnt be a big problem. Well I hope this helps you guys out and like I said before this is a TSB so your dealer should know all about it.

 

To the dealer I go! Anyone know of any other common TSBs I can force on them before my warranty expires? If I go in and tell them to fix every TSB they have for the car, will they do it?
