What might cause a grinding noise when the AC clutch is engaged on a 1993 Chevy PU you have replaced the compressor with three new ones and still have the problem?
You may have burned it up. AC compressors need oil initially.
Usually the compressors require additional lubrication during the installation. The warranty on compressors usually require the replacement of the dryer (Accumulator), orfice tube, and flushing the system. This will eliminate debrie and contaminates from damaged compressor in which was replaced. The compressor may be checked for the grinding noise by the following procedure. Disconnect the battery ground. Remove drive belt from clutch. Place wrench on nut in center of clutch and rotate slowly clockwise. If the shaft doesn't rotate smoothly there is likely damage inside the compressor cylinders and pistons. If the compressor checks OK, check other components while the drive belt is disconnected. For example, The pulley on the alternator, idler pulley, and water pump should not have any end play. The AC compressor puts a heavier load on the drive belt and may cause other components to make noise. The only other possibility that comes to mind is that the compressor clutch bearing is bad or the clutch is slipping. ! Good luck!
What else can I help you with?
AC compressor - clutch seems to be locking upmaking noise can only the clutch be replaced or does the entire Compressor need to be replaced?
If the AC pulley is locking up when the ac compressor clutch engages, it's not a clutch problem, it's a compressor problem. But yes, the AC clutch can usually be replaced separately. The problem is, if the clutch is worn out the compressor is probably worn out as well. It usually isn't that much more to replace the whole thing.
What is the grinding noise on a megane 2?
It depends on where the grinding noise is coming from. Most of the time the grinding is coming from the brakes and the brake pads need to be replaced. If they've been grinding for a while, the rotors will need to be resurfaced or replaced. Other possibilities for grinding are worn axle bearings, or a problem with the clutch. If the clutch goes out, there will be a grinding noise when you try to shift gears.
If your car started stalling shortly after the AC stopped working and is still stalling after the throttle body was cleaned and ignition coil replaced could the AC problem have something to do with it?
The ac could be causing the problem. Turn the ac off, and watch the compressor clutch to see if it is not engaged. If it is then the compressor or clutch could be bogging the engine down.

Ac compressor will engage but will not disengage on low or high?
If the AC compressor engages but won't disengage, it may indicate a problem with the pressure switch, which monitors refrigerant levels. A faulty pressure switch can cause the compressor to remain engaged regardless of pressure. Additionally, issues with the AC control module or a stuck relay could also prevent the compressor from turning off. It's advisable to have a technician diagnose the system for accurate troubleshooting.
