Rep Power: 0 Noise when Max AC is on
This only happens when the AC is on max or high, and only when I make a left turn. There is a sort of gurgling noise, and the AC stops blowing out air. Any ideas what may be going on?

ur compressor/compressor clutch is prob seizing up or your belt is slipping.

Is it like a high squealing belt noise? My 02 EX was doing that, whenever AC is on. It was the compressor, its totally shot, so I have it disconnected electrically, meaning no AC, til I can find a new one to put in

when u hear a high squealing, it means ur belts are slipping, not necessarily the compressor.

The clutch or compressor locks up when energized. Making the belt slip/rub it's way around the pulley. That's why it sounds like the belt slipping- cause it is.
