AC Maybe?
Something I noticed this morning while warming up the truck: a clicking sound like the AC or defrost was on.
When AC runs you can sometimes here it clicking or cycling on and off - this sound comes from the engine compartment, the compressor I beleive.
However, when running heat alone without AC or defrost - that compressor should not be cycling on and off, correct? Could my issue be one with the AC compressor? Stuck on? It would presumably draw a lot of current and perhaps cause other fubar'd issues.
I think I could hear the compressor cycling on and off when the HVAC controls were calling for "heat only".
Thanks
