In a car the heat usually comes from engine "waste heat". You just need to be running the engine.
The compressor is part of the air conditioner, which is used for cooling not heating.

Probably because the compressor is cycling on and off to maintain temperature without freezing. Compressor on car runs slower RPM, compreesor cuts out and RPMs go up.
Driving without a heat shield may damage the car. It can damage the car by melting any gaskets (rubber hoses), and electrical wires close to it.
Without an AC condenser, yes. I advise disconnecting the AC compressor so it won't run dry on lubricant.
No. A car heater gets its heat from the motor and uses no extra gas at all, unlike a car's air conditioner which does use more gas.
no you shouldn't because the cold air that your engine sucks up can quit your engine and stop running
Compressor not running?Heater control in heat position?
the compressor is places a drag on the engine,as a result it would generate more heat but the car should not be overheating. The fan motors should be on when the a/c is running.
tell them you want a belt for your car with out compressor. from harmonic balancer to wat ever else is running on your belt..
The heater in your car uses waste heat from the engine to heat the car. When the engine is not running there is no heat to distribute.
A/C compressor? A/C compressor?
because the compressor must be running to circulate the refrigerant in the system
running the car
why the compressor keeps running whil the key is out is because it is trying to keep the car at the level ride height
That won't keep the car from starting, but will keep the A/C compressor from running.
My car is going through the same issue with the A/C. You CAN replace the compressor clutch without replacing the compressor, but the caveat is that you can't tell if the compressor is any good without a clutch. So basically you are gambling that the compressor will still be good by only replacing the clutch. Hope this helps!
You have a cycling clutch compressor. Turn the AC on max, let the car for five minutes or so, go look at the compressor. You should see the clutch engaging and disengaging the compressor as the pressure builds and drops.
How Much Does Car A/C Compressor Repair and Replacement Cost? Car a/c compressor replacement costs about $994 for a car a/c compressor with average prices of a car a/c compressor ranging from $842 for a compressor to $1146 for a car a/c compressor in the US for 2020, according to Repairpal
