Why does my car make a knocking noise?

What do you think the knocking sound is? Behind the glove box is the cabin air filter, blower motor and AC mode actuators. Any of the mode control actuators, such as the blend or mode actuators, can cause the knocking noise when the gears inside them fail.

Why does my AC make a grinding noise when I turn it on?

Pulley: If the compressor pulley bearings are failing, they can make noises, generally a grinding, roaring or squealing noise. Belt: If the serpentine belt is worn, it can slip when the compressor engages, causing noises. Idler Pulley: It’s possible that the noise is actually from the idler pulley if its bearings are failing.
