hi, my jimny 2015 has a problem, when i accelerate
or give gas on "n"
there is sound and i see the ac compressor stops for second and when it stops , i hear the sound.
(second 9 in the attached video).
Have you checked the A/C to see if it's low on gas?
Also, l believe that on some cars the A/C will disengage when you are accelerating fast in order to improve engine power to the wheels, as the A/C compressor uses between 1-4bhp
But it shouldn't keep switching in an out, it may be low on gas.
A/C loses up to 10% of its gas every year. Once it gets below around 60% it may not work.
The noise is definitely the drive belt slipping. It could be because the belt is not correctly tensioned or it could be the ac pump is beginning to seize which in turn could be a failing bearing in the pump or the system is somehow over pressure. I would suggest belt tension first as mentioned above.
