    Alright.. I know why it hums..
    That's because it doesn't know the words!!! :biggrin_25523:

    OK, I'm a smart ###. How about a possible air leak since the fan is air actuated?

    I'm no expert, but if you trace the air line going to the fan clutch, perhaps you will find something? Easy way to find leak is to spray some soapy water on the line.

    "vibration when the AC is on" Sounds like the wife/girl friend will be riding along with you more.
