ok, i know everybody is probably sick of hearing about fan clutch questions and all. i am just not sure, if my problem is the fan clutch.
I have done some searches (including reading "Fan clutch 101"), and now im pretty certain its my fan clutch, but still have a few questions or concerns.
Now, a few days ago, i started it up and left it running while my gf was looking for something in the house before leaving :hissy:. that is when i noticed, there is a clicking noise coming from the engine bay. so i popped the hood and it sounded pretty close to my fan. i waited a few minutes then it went away. now since driving it, every once in a while i hear the clicking noise again (while driving and while sitting).
after reading "fan clutch 101" i noticed in the reading that it may have something to do with my A/C? but, i hardly ever use the A/C and the times it has been clicking, the a/c hasn't been running. so, im not sure if the fan clutch is the problem.
also, i have read in the forum, i can test to see if its my fan clutch by unplugging something under the shroud while it is clicking? if so, anybody have a picture of this? is this true?
one more thing is, the clicking noise is intermittent, and i have not drove it the car since buying it (which was 2 weeks ago), very far for very long.
