Re: Grinding AC clutch engagement

It could be some corrosion in there, it could be a weak relay that controls the A/C clutch (on my '96 the A/C clutch relay is part of the Constant Control Relay Module, aka CCRM), it could even be the compressor making the noise.
I had the relay inside the CCRM cause mine to cycle on and off quickly.

Another thing to check would be the electrical connections, starting with the one on top of the clutch unit......to rule out dirty contacts.
