Does anyone else get a grind in the dash when you turn on your AC?
I get a groan from the compressor.jasonbillups said:Does anyone else get a grind in the dash when you turn on your AC?

I have a feeling it is associated with the push button stop/start. Once you turn the engine off, the doors unlock, then you open the door and ZIIIIP. But maybe it is a steering wheel lock, makes sence and it is in the right location. I have ZERO issues with the vehicle, just curious what the noise is.CubeLuvIt said:ChristineK said:What I want to know is what is the servo sound when you turn off the engine and open the door.

Maybe somebody can enlighten us. :yes:
Have not heard the zip sound.What handle are you grabbing.
Japanese call the steering wheel "Handle" pronounced with Japanese intonation.

Yup. That's about what I was thinking this morning.ChristineK said:Alternator clutch HUHSounds like the old muffler bearing trick :yes:
Mine makes noise but it is not an unusual sound, my little FIT is similar as it is a tiny motor trying to turn all that.
He may have misspoke and meant the compressor clutch. But...ya never know. :no: 8)Boxcar said:another guy that came up said it sounded like the alternator clutch. As far as I know there is no such thing.
No, there is such a thing as an alternator clutch. I know some motorcycles have them when they are driven by internal chains from the crankshaft. It helps lessen the the shock/load on the system during rapid rpm changes.ChristineK said:Alternator clutch HUHSounds like the old muffler bearing trick :yes:
i get the same sound sounds like a gyro spooling downgreed mine too. You can totally hear the compressor kick on. Sounds normal.
