No, as long as you don't turn the A/C on or set the controls to Defrost which will cause the compressor to run.
It does not have an Air Compressor. If you are talking about the A/C Compressor, then just look at the drive belts. One of these belts is driving the compressor. If it has one serpentine belt, it is driving the A/C compressor, PS pump, Alternator, & Water Pump. Just follow the belt to find it.
Yes, every once in a while while driving your air compressor will kick on. If it seems to be running nonstop there is a problem. You would have a hole in one of your air bags if your compressor runs nonstop. Hope this helps.
Check your compressor for the air ride, when the compressor goes bad it can burn out your alt
A screw type compressor is like a supercharger. You have 2 'screws' which turn in one another compressing the air in the gaps between the screws. A recip compressor is like an engine, except that instead of a fuel/air mix in the pistons driving the crank, the crank is driven in the compressor and the pistons are used to draw in air, compress it then put it in to the system.
My UK data is showing the Air compressor clutch relay location is fitted to the left hand inner wing (when viewed from the the driving seat).
The temperature sensor needs Replacing.
Maybe a bearing in the compressor
pulley an belt are used in driving camshaft,alternator,water pump,air pump, compressor in a car.
fuel pump relay may need replacing
The compressor pulley is the closest pulley to the ground in the set of pulleys driving the belt. Driver's side towards the front of the car underneath all of the pullleys and main drive belt.
Most likely, your air conditioning compressor is cooked or its pulley clutch has seized. Hopefully it was the pulley, because the compressor is not cheap.
Driving the AC compressor puts additional load on the motor and reduces gas mileage.
