I've got a 99 Civic EX and whenever I turn on my air conditioning it starts vibrating like crazy. I can even hear it when I've got my music cranked up. Any ideas?

check if all the bolts are on holding it to your block. it shouldnt be that bad but from what you explain, it's bad. it could also be a fucked up wheel on the compressor or maybe even the belt. check those first.

Its tight, and the wheel and belt are fine.

try turning off the a/c to disengage the compressor... still makes the noise?

bustAnut

When I turn it off the noise stops.

Check your engine mounts. Because your using power from the block so the engine has to vibrate! Hope it helps!

The vibration sounds like its coming from the glove compartment if that helps any.

YOU SHOULD OF SAID SO.

remove the glove compartment and look under at your fan(round thing) and see if that is vibrating. if so then not to sound like a smart mouth, But its your fan. all you have to do is un plug it and remove the fan part(not the whole thing) and go to the dealer and buy a new one, Hope this helps!

Oh if you can live with it for a while then do so. Cuz the fan cost around 40~50 dollars
