rweddy Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 My AC condensore is turning on and off and I hear a clicking from behind the glove box? Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bratman Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 Richard, When does this happen... when idling, driving, or both? Gavin 91 Legacy AWD Sedan 82 GL Brat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rweddy Posted May 3, 2004 Author Share Posted May 3, 2004 All the time, at all speeds and when idiling. When stoped you can see the ac comp cycling on and off and while driving you can feel the comp turing on/off. Any ideas? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sea#3 Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 rweddy Your A/C system is probably low on Freon . You should have the pressures checked SEA#3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rweddy Posted May 3, 2004 Author Share Posted May 3, 2004 rweddyYour A/C system is probably low on Freon . You should have the pressures checked SEA#3 Well it just started doing this and when it does blow it is ice cold. It will run for a few minutes at a time. Then this clicking like a relay noice clicking on and off behind the glove box. So if the Freon was low I would assume the air would not blow cold???? ?

Tiny Clark Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 It could still blow cold while the compressor is running, especially since you have an R12 system. There is a pressure switch that keeps the compressor from staying on so it doesn't toast without proper lubrication. Do you see any air bubbles in the sight glass?

No I did not look, I will go take a peak this am! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edrach Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 Do a search on old posts; someone had a solution to this about four months ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rweddy Posted May 3, 2004 Author Share Posted May 3, 2004 OK Just got off the phone with a local Subaru Shop here in Colorado. They say there is a relay behind the glove box that tends to go bad, anyone else have this issue on their subie? I have some service manuals coming from eBay in the next week but would like to get this fixed before that if anyone knows the part number. Or I will try to make it to the bone yard this weekend.
