When my air conditioner turns on, the light on the A/C button will begin to flicker. For clarity, the button with the snowflake is the button that has a small red light for on/off that is flickering when the air conditioner engages. That light has been flickering occasionally for months. But now, as of the warm weather in the last two days, the light flickers and there is a clunking noise in time with the flickering. The noise seems to emanate from under the passenger side dash--think air cabin filter area. I haven't started investigating this issue, yet. Just noticed it twice. Didn't see a solution in the long list of repair PDFs.

What is under there that could be making a noise in time with the A/C light flickering? Is the compressor near there? Is there fuses under there? Is it possible that the light isn't faulty, that the A/C is actually flickering on and off several times per second?

If I turn off the button and turn it back on, it works like normal, and so does the A/C.
