If compressor is running 80-100% of time without recycling, it may still be low on freon.

If freon pressure is good, may be expansion valve.

Why is fan loud when air or heat is on?

The electric fans used to cool the engine are designed to switch on to full speed when the air conditioner compressor is being used. When you turn on the heater/defroster the air conditioning compressor also turns on to help remove moisture from the air. Since both when heating or cooling your car the air conditioner compressor is working the fan will be running at high speed and makes more noise.


Can you put a belt for a non air conditioner equipped 4.7L Dodge Dakota on an air conditioner equipped 4.7L Dodge Dakota to eliminate the air conditioner compressor?

Yes, you can, and the routing will remain unchanged except for the omission of the air conditioner pulley. If the belt turns out to be too long or short, simply obtain a belt of slightly longer or shorter length, as appropriate.


Why does my air conditioner hiss and jerk the car then blow hot air then jerk and hiss again and then blow cold?

Your A/C compressor is shot. It's internal computer (or that of your car) is malfunctioning. The "jerk" is when your "A/C" kicks in...an A/C compressor takes much of your cars usable power. As it turns on and off you will get the hiss and jerk. (the hiss comes from the overworked compressor lines cooling)

At normal condition how does a compressor start and stop?

Is it normal for a central air conditioner to be making a loud buzzing noise off-and-on from outside?

it depends on how loud it really is, because unless it's unusually loud then yes it's normal. All that is, is you compressor cycling on and off to your temperature setting. When the temperature goes above the setting it turns on so it doesn't get too hot. When the temp falls below the compressor will shut off so it don't get too coldAnswerit depends on how loud it really is, because unless it's unusually loud then yes it's normal.
