Most of the time I leave the climate control on auto, @ highway speeds only I can hear a chirp noise and I think its from the A/C compressor kicking on and off. Does not do it at an idle, are there any recalls for this? Is this a sign of a problem?

I went to my dealer for the same issue a few weeks ago. They told me there is a t.s.b. on this but there is no fix because it does't cause any problems.

I replaced my serpentine belt with a Gatorback and also replaced the tensioner. Problem solved.

Replace the belt. Don't use any belt dressings or rubber lube or other product.

Mine does this in the morning now. Guess I have to go get a new belt or tensioner.
