It makes alot of noise. Its prolly one of the noisiest things on that car. Mine makes a growl type of noise for about 3 sec after button is pushed, or knob is turned to defroster. Im sure its normal.
mine kicks on and off, but I'm not sure if its doing it because is cold outsideI know this is an old time thread but just 3 weeks ago I noticed a noise inside the cabin when the A/C is on. It actually happened every 30 seconds or so and its getting hotter. After an hour i notice a sound which is not even noticed by my wife. i thought is was the glove box never knowing it was actually the A/C Compressor But depending on where the thermostat is set and the temp outside, it engages and dissengages the compressor for the air. Just a heads up and hope all of you guys help me out for this.
