Ok, just troubleshoot ac going from warm to cold & cold back to warm.. Now there's a clicking sound coming from the fan,or belt pully area on the passenger side.. This car is mint condition no issues until now,95k & it's a 99" I love it.. It's starting to snowball issues with the whole ac thing. Any thoughts????

I would be a guess without knowing specifically where it's coming from. Maybe a bearing issue with an idler arm or the compressor itself?

try purging the low side of the A/C line. if it send out hot air, and then green r134a(STOP) once it turns green.

or the clicking is the ac clutch trying to turn on, but not activating. might be time to get a new compressor & clutch.
