Why does your air conditioning compressor for your car squeal when it is operating?
There can be quite a few reasons as to why the compressor is squealing when the a/c is activated. The most common cause is a loose accessory drive belt (or serpentine belt on some vehicles). Another cause is a loose or weak a/c clutch or possibly a faulty or defective compressor. Try tightening or replacing the accessory drive belt/serpentine belt. If that does not work, have compressor checked at a qualified repair facility.

Can you bypass the ac compressor with a pulley or belt on a 97 jeep wrangler tj?
Have your mechanic run the serpentine belt around the compressor. I had a bad compressor last year, and the mechanic just re-routed the belt until I could afford a new compressor-then he installed it and re-routed the belt again so it would run the compressor. Purchase a serpentine belt the same vehicle but without A/C. The shorter belt will drive all the other accessories and is routed the same as the belt used with A/C, except for the compressor.
