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.
Look to see if the compressor is running when the ac is on. If not, then check the Freon pressure, as the compressor won't run if the Freon is low.
I need to know the type of compressor (make) before I can answer that question.
The ac compressorThe ac compressor
Blown fuse, low of refrigrant, defective compressor, or compressor clutch.
It has one serpentine belt for the AC compressor and alternator, and a V-belt for the power steering. ~Pengauin
when you are in front of the car its on the bottom of the engine on the right side
You don't. It isn't user servicable. You replace the compressor.
No...That sensor is a pressure sensor.(located next to the condensor) It will not let the compressor run if the pressure is to low or to high,so the compressor wont be damaged. If it is unplugged the compressor wont come on at all.
No, those parts do not interchange.
You take a piece of gum that you have chewed since you last changed the ac compressor. Then you take the piece of gum and stick it on the end of a straw and mold it until yu feel that it is secured tightly. then you blow into the other end of the straw and the piece of gum flies off, then change your damned ac compressor.
car must be lifted its not a simple job as the compressor comes ou the passenger side wheel well.
Remove the freon from the system. Disconnect the compressor belt, then remove the lines. Unbolt the compressor and remove it. Install the new compressor, connect the lines and belt. Pull a system vacuum, then fill with new freon.
