Default a noise i dont know about

I do not have too much knowledge on vehicles (just letting everyone know before i say this)....my car a few weeks ago started making a clicking sound when i turn on the air conditioning (thought it could be a leaf but i doubt it) the noise is still continuing whenever i use the a/c, anyone know what the problem is and how it can be fixed?

Could it be the air conditioner compressor cycling?

BC.

Funny this should come up right now. I took mine in for warranty work yesterday, with this buzzing noise being one of the items I wanted remedied.

The technician verified the sound, and opted to just replace the entire motor that runs the ac/heat system, so that was just fine with me.

I also had them replace the windshield surround, as mine had clearcoat peeling off of it. My fuel door locking mechanism wasn't locking, so they fixed that too. And lastly, I had the famous transmission leak sealed up.

With that laundry list, they had my car back to me in 24 hours, which really impressed me. Like a lot.

So, medium length story short, they'll probably replace your ac motor, as long as you're under warranty. Thank God I was, since the bill for those 4 items totaled 1,500 bucks.

It's a leaf most likely. It's happened to me twice. Mech spent 45 minutes just trying to get to it. Happens quite often he said due to the location of the intake vents.

Off topic, but what warranty do you have? Is it still the original one or a certified used, or...?
