We recharged the freon in my 1999 Intrepid but when ac is on there is a weird noise and now the defroster makes the same noise. Is my compressor going out?

had same problem had to replace the compressor about 800.00 dollars .

It's the clutch or compressor or the idle pulley for the belt for the AC to check it have someone start it with the hood open and use a broom handle pressed to your ear and put the end of the broom near the ac compressor and turn it on and see if you here it there then shut it off and check near the idler pulley to see if it's there. The stick acts like a doctors stethoscope and amplifies the noise and will allow you to pinpoint the noise more accurately. If it is the clutch it can be replaced without replacingthe whole compressor but you will have to buy it at JC Whitney on line. Many who sell them charge as much as the compressor assembly costs.

SOURCE: ac not working, blows hot air only. Recharged

Check the evaporator coil by sniffing the vents,floor is best, with your tester.

SOURCE: recharge ac run bypass

more like run a bypass on the low pressure switch

The noise you are hearing is the clutch bearings going out on a/c compressor. The problem with removing the belt is that you will have to find a shorter belt for van and be able to reroute the belt in a way to make everything work. It's not likely to work the way each pulley has to rotate, some clockwise and counter clockwise. All the pulleys rotate in a different direction. If you continue to run the van like this what will happen is the clutch will either lock-up or come apart causing the belt to either come off or burn up. Hope this will help you.
