Hello, today when i ran my defroster I noticed a clunk sound every 5-10 seconds that got annoying, when i got to where i had to be i opened the hood and noticed the Air Compressor was turning on every 5-10 seconds and then immediately turning off.

 

Can someone let me know whats going on? am i low on coolant or is this an electrical problem?

 

thanks!

The compressor is designed to cycle when in defrost. Keeps it lubricated in the winter time.

yes, but not every 5-10 seconds .. again, it was simply low on coolant
