If you think there is a weird sound other than the flow of air coming out of your A/C, try turning off the air conditioning. If the sound persists while the air conditioner is off it may be a faulty component other than the air conditioner. If there is no sound when the A/C is off the problem may be the car’s compressor working hard while on, which may need a repair.
If you smell something strange when using your car’s air conditioning, it may suggest that the air filter is dirty. If the air coming into the filter is cleaner than the filter, then it is probably time to get it changed. Dirty air can not only make your whole car smell bad, but it can also be bad for your health if it’s circulating potentially harmful particles into your breathing air. Because some of us spend much of our time in our cars, it is definitely worth getting the AC checked if the air quality in your car has decreased.
The air conditioning process essentially removes moisture and humidity from the air to make it cool and fresh. However, that moisture needs to go somewhere. You may see cars that have been running for a while dripping water from the engine. As long as it is just droplets, this is normal. If your car has condensation buildup inside the cabin, however, it may mean that the drainage is blocked and needs to be cleared.
