Oh.. and down by the A/C is the fan relay.
Noise is hard to trace. Even if you absolutely know it's coming from someplace
it may be coming from someplace else. I spent about an hour tracking down a small
buzz just to discover it was the button on my winter jacket that was hanging on
the back seat. :)

Re: Just bought 1995 GC LTD 4.0L Few Newbie questions
you bought one of American Motor Corp.'s last great engineering and styling
designs, which was done around l988, or earlier. Chrysler bought amc mainly
for its jeep line-up, and systematically began to cheapen and change it.
Yours is a relatively pure example of amc's efforts...with but a few notable
exceptions. enjoy it.

Thanks Doug W, I am still waiting for a owners manual, I changed the
thermostat and my Heater has improved considerably, The A/C is also cooling
but it seems it may need a freon top up, as it is not blowing very cold. the
pies in the engine compartment get very cold to the touch so I dont beleive
my noisy compressor is dead yet.
I will update on the clicking shortly.
