Bought this car last fall, about 100k on it.
This spring, the A/C hasn't worked while in park or at low RPMs.
Past couple of weeks, there is a constant clicking, 5-10 clicks per second, when the A/C is turned on, but has still blown cold air.
Took a 500mi road trip this weekend, A/C on all the time. Then, A/C stopped working. After turning the car off while gassing up for about 20 minutes, it worked again for 10 minutes or so, then quit altogether.
There was a jingling or ringing noise from the belt area, I am guessing it is from the compressor. After the last 100 miles home, ringing is still present and now there is a horribly loud grinding noise if the car is started. Have not driven it since arriving home.
Can anyone tell me what this might be? I am basically thinking I will need to replace the compressor and recharge the A/C system, does this sound like a good course of action?
Thanks,
Jason
