Once my coolant gets to around 146, my A/C starts making a loud noise from outside and continues while driving. You can hear it louder when stopped. It also keeps going for a bit once the car is shut off. It reminds me of a tornado siren except a lower pitch.

Any ideas?

William,

I HAD the GMPP full extended warranty until about a year ago. I had this symptom intermittently and they couldn't find the root cause at the time while in their possession. Now that it's out of warranty it's happening much more frequently... I'll send you a private message.

Thanks!

Ditto here. Tried the tape to confirm the problem and then had a local windshield place lift and seal the cowling. Buzzing problem that I though was AC is solved.
