Hola everone, I recently got a 97 Accord SE. Everthing works in this car but the A/C, with summer almost here I want to get this little problem fixed. First off when you turn the A/C on it makes a horrible sound. Could this be because the Freon has ran dry, or are we talking a new A/C compressor, belt ?

It almost sound like alternator noise, but only when you kick on the AC coudl the compressor be out?

Check your a/c belt and Compressor clutch when vehicle is off, wiggle the plate that's mounted in front of the compressor to see if its loose. If it's loose replace the compressor clutch or get the whole assembly, it's really up to you.

 

check the condenser fan too make sure it's no hitting anything.

 

check the a/c condenser fan, the bearing could be making a loud squeaking noise...
