[s-cars] Clicking noise when a/c compressor is on

[motogo1]

Yes, me. Same exact symptoms. Bad compressor. And don't let some idiot tell
you it is the serpintine belt tensioner, cause it couldn't possibly be the
compressor, like I did!!!  If the sound sounds like it is coming from the
compressor and it goes away when you turn the A/C off, it is the compressor.
I've been on this list about three years and you are the only one I have
ever heard have this same problem.
