- AC help needed
- Posted by Ross
'96 Tacoma Xtracab 4x4
Last summer I had the AC evaporator unit replaced under the glove box.
Since then, every time I turn the air conditioner on and am running
above 60 mph a flapping noise starts. It sounds like it's coming from
under the hood and it sounds much like the sound of mud flaps slapping
against the truck. Yes, I check the flaps. This happens with either
the inside and fresh air settings. When I turn off the AC, the sound
goes away. Any help to identify possible explanations for this would
be greatly appreciated. You know how annoying it is when a new and
unfamiliar sound suddenly starts!
Thanks,

Its POSSIBLE that there is noise from the freon moving thru the system (
like water pipes banging in an old house), but should be a temperature
related and not speed related.
if it was the fresh air door it would do it w/wo the ac on.

Sounds like a reasonable explanation. The first thing I think I'll do
is check out that "fresh air door". Now, can you tell me how to get
to it and what to look for when I find it. Hopefully, it's not tucked
away in some convoluted place that hard to reach.
Thanks,
