I just bought a 95 Taurus and it keeps snapping the belt it needs a new ac compressor but we don't turn on the ac unit can we bypass the ac without removing it?
If your car has a Serpentine belt that's one piece and made specifically for that engine, chances are you may have to repair the AC unit. From the description "snapping belts" one would assume that the AC Compressor is siezed, where the pulley doesn't even turn freely.
How do you bypass ac on 2000 Grand Caravan 3.8?
You remove the ac compressor and install a pulley bypass kit from a part store.You remove the ac compressor and install a pulley bypass kit from a part store.
Can you bypass the ac compressor on a 96 Volkswagen Jetta?
yes you can, just go buy an ac bypass pulley, pull your compressor, and put pulley in its place
Why is your ac compressor smoking when ac is on?
The Air conditioning compressor is likely seized. There is a clutch in the pulley that engages the compressor when the A/C is turned on. You can easily check the compressor (with engine off make sure the pulley has had time to cool off as it will be very hot) Try to turn the most center part of the pulley. If you cannot turn it by hand the compressor is seized. The smoke was MOST likely from the serpentine belt rubbing on the seized pulley when the A/C compressor was engaged. Please note that the same belt drives the power steering pump. This belt will be destroyed from the heat and must be replaced to prevent a possible steering failure.
How do you fix an air condiosoner pump because it does not spin or work?
Do you mean that the AC clutch does not engage the compressor? Or do you mean that the AC compressor won't turn even if the clutch is engaged? If the compressor is siezed and will not turn even if the clutch is engaged, the only choice is to replace the compressor. If you can turn the compressor by hand (understand that the belt pulley will turn freely with the engine if the clutch isn't engaged) but the compressor clutch isn't engaging, it might just be out of refrigerant. There is a sensor, usually somewhere near the receiver/dryer) that detects the "low side" refrigerant pressure. Once the refrigerant pressure at the sensor drops below a specified level, the compressor will not turn on. In other words, if the compressor clutch won't engage it might just be out of refrigerant.
What would cause a 1998 Plymouth Breeze to stall when you turn the AC on?
It could be the AC compressor. With the engine and key off, try turning the compressor by hand. The belt should be connected to a pulley that drives the clutch. With the engine off the cluth is disengaged so you should be able to turn the inner part of the compressor pulley even though the outer part is connected to the belt. If it won't turn at all, it's probably siezed and you need a new compressor.
Can a ac compressor be unplugged in a 98 diamante?
Yes. The serpentine belt will still go around the pulley and turn the compressor, but with no power to it, the AC will not work! Another option is to get a new belt that completely bypasses the compressor, but that may be more than you are willing to tackle.
What is an AC compressor clutch and what does it do?
The AC clutch is on the front of the compressor where the belt rides. When power is applied to the clutch it engages to turn the compressor. It is basically a magnet a/c compressor clutch is the ound thing on the front of the compressor with pulley wheel attached. this clutch is an electro magnetic clutch that when electricity is supplied, engages so as the a/c compressor is driven ,which can then pump freon thru the ac system
Ac compressor squeals when ac is not on but is quiet when ac is on?
it is probably the bearings going out in the ac compressor pulley or belt slippage. the reason it is different when it is on is because the belt is not under "load" or has resistance.
When I turn on the ac om my 2000 Nissan altima it makes a extremely loud squeaky noise from the engine?
i hate to be the bearer of awful news. 80% probability that the A/C compressor is stuck, the crank inside the compressor is frozen, and that you're hearing the drivebelt squeal around a pulley that just ain't turnin'. the ac compressor is the one belt-driven component that's not supposed to run continuously along with the engine. it only runs when you use the ac. that's why the pulley has an electric clutch that engages when you turn the ac on.
Need to replace the serpentine belt on a 93 Plymouth grand voyager with ac but want to bypass the ac compressor is it possible if so can you show how?
You will need to buy and install an ac bypass pulley from Napa or other parts store to bypass the ac compressor.You will need to buy and install an ac bypass pulley from Napa or other parts store to bypass the ac compressor.
What causes Squealing noise on a Nissan sentra when the ac is turned on?
Check for a slipping drive belt between encine crank pulley and AC compressor pulley.
