A/C making noise when turned on
This would happen to me on my old '00 Ranger, but now I have a '03 Ranger that is 5 weeks old, and when you start the truck up, and turn the A/C on, it makes a loud noise under the hood. Almost sounds like something is grinding or whatever. Any idea on what this could be, or have it happen to you.

Hmmmmm.... When the A/C cluth went out on my truck, it made a screeching noise!! Maybe it's not your A/c compressor!!! Are you sure it's not a water pump or fan clutch???

I hope not, the truck is only 5 weeks old. It also made the same noise on my 2000 Ranger.

Well, it's probably still under warranty. Correct? I would just take it to the dealership and let them figure it out!!
