Your cars engine accessory belt drives the AC compressor.
What causes the air conditioner to not shut off when the car is not running?
the AC is run by a belt that is connected to the engine. if you turn the engine off, the belt stops moving. No belt movement means no power for the AC. the fan will only blow air, not cold air.
Can a hybrid car idle on the battery and keep the AC running?
The Toyota Prius has electric AC, the gasoline engine will only run at idle with the ac when the battery drops below 50 %. The power steering is also electric. The same is also true for the Ford Escape hybrid. When you run the air conditioning, the gas engine will run until the a/c is fully charged then it will run off battery power. The downside of this is that you are deep cycling the batteries and shortening the life.
