click coming from engine bay

workshop4ever · 06-28-2006, 05:47 AM

Hey, i just recently got my 4.0 (like 4 days ago) and I am notcing that when the A/C is on i hear a loud click every few moments, probably 30 seconds or so apart coming from the engine bay. I was wondering if anyone else heres this and if it is normal or something i should get looked at. It happens at all time, when idling, accelerating, and braking with no difference.

it's normal... it's the a/c compressor cycling... it is pretty loud on our cars...

Glad to hear it is normal. I was going to make a post about this too.

yeah, i have the same problem
my mechanic says it is completely normal, its just that, like scrming said, it is unusually loud

Glad to know its normal. Had a ton of problems with my previous car (Engine replacement after 2000 miles, luckily under warantee, and much more afterwards) and i would hate to start having problems in my mustang with only 400 miles!

I may have bad news for you. My 2006 has 11k on it and the tick sound coming from my Air conditioner compressor went from an occasional tick noise to a continuous ticking everytime it was on. The Dealership told me today that they needed to order and install and new compressor. Keep an eye on it.

workshop4ever · 07-01-2006, 03:38 PM

by continuous do you mean, like non stop ticking, or that it ticked while the car was running every 30 seconds or so apart?

I mean continuous non stop ticking. Getting mine replaced on Wednesday. They havent told me yet exactly what happend to it. I have met 2 others that had the same problem though.
