when i turn on or off the ac or swtich between speeds or settings, not always but sometimes i get a LOUD clunk noise. this has been happening for some time now. never sent it to the dealer yet. what do you think it is. i just made a appointment with my dealer cuz i am at 47.5k miles.

thanks

 

sounds like just the clutch on it . i would bring it to the dealer if it is really loud and since you are so close to your warranty being up. i had mine replaced around 39k cause the barrings went out.

 

my 99 does that once in a while, i thought i had a problem, but my friends 02 has the same noise.

 

thanks, i got a appointment with my dealer for it, also my change draw is stuck, i think its a coin in the back.

one more question. can some1 tell me if the VSA button suppose to light up at night ( when the lights are on )cuz mine doesnt.


thanks.

 

Sometimes the compressor kicking in for the A/C will cause the loud clunk--not necessarily a problem but let the dealer determine that.

Coin stuck behind the coin tray is very common. Only remedy is to not fill it so full with coins. Getting it out can be a trick but it can be done.

The VSA lettering is backlit and does light up at night with the dash lights. Most likely a burned-out bulb in the switch. Easy to replace or have the dealer check it at the same visit.
