Re: Alternator and A/C clutch

I read on your other thread about leaking at radiator cap, and wonder if coolant might get at the A/C clutch assembly and cause the noise?

If that was the original alternator, then I would not worry too much about the replacement......a lot of $$$ but I think that they run around $200 when you and I buy them.....and most any shop will charge more than what you pay at the auto part store......

I had engagement problems with my A/C clutch following my leaking evaporator core repair.....turned out to be the CCRM (which you have already replaced), the repeated cycling on/off when I was low on A/C charge was what the shop felt caused that......even though I had unplugged the compressor to keep it from cycling so much, until I got it into the shop for repair.
