    Wish my GPA was as high as the gas prices.
    Anyone else experienced this issue, where especially in warmer outside temperatures where there is a random clicking sound from behind the center dash? Its a similar noise to when you change the direction of air and the actuator motors go off, except it occurs randomly, and there's a noticeable change in A/C temperature, from cool to warm, and back.

    From what I've seen there's no obvious leaks or anything wrong with the blower motor, any ideas?

    If and when I can, I'll upload a video.

    Remains to be seen I bought the tires and wheels the rest came along
    Might be time to put the gauges on the AC see where the pressures are.

    It seems the compressor is dropping out then turning back on.

    beyond the normal cycling if the temperature gets hot coming out the ducts.
