Usually it is slight mold and mildew in the evaporator case that makes the smell, if you put the air on high and take lysol spray and spray under the glove box and dash that should kill it may take a few times though. Also make sure your evaperator drain hose is not obstructed. A buildup of condensate can lead to mold and a musty smell.

Can you bypass the air conditioning compressor with a serpentine belt meant for a vehicle without air conditioning on a 1996 Chevy Cavalier 2.2 liter engine?

I know on my cavalier which is a 2001 it is possible to re route the serpentine belt away from the air conditioner compressor. I was having trouble with mine popping the belt off. Hope I helped you out.

If you are facing the problem of low discharge airflow to the cooling space causing low cooling performance which can lead to possible damage to the compressor of the air conditioners.


Can you bypass the air conditioning compressor with a serpentine belt on a 2000 Dodge Dakota V8?

Yes, but if you unplug the wiring to the compressor, the pulley will simply idle without causing the compressor to do anything, unless the pulley clutch is faulty and is constantly engaging the compressor, in which case, you will have to bypass the compressor pulley or replace it. If you must bypass the air conditioner, you will need a shorter belt (by at least 12 inches). It is possible that the stock belt for your motor without air conditioning option will fit, try that option first. Otherwise the proper fit will have to be determined by trial and error or use string to trace the new route and measure its length. The new route should be exactly the same except bypassing the compressor.

Why air condition motor will not start when ac is turned on 99 dodge ram?

If you are talking about the compressor on the engine, you may have a bad fuse, bad clutch on the compressor, or too high of pressure in the air conditioning system. If you are talking about the fan motor in the ac/heater assembly, possible blown fuse or bad motor.

REMOVAL & INSTALLATION1984-89 Accord and 1984-87 Prelude1. If possible, operate the engine at idle speed and run the air conditioning system for a few minutes.2. Turn the air conditioning system and the engine off. Disconnect the negative battery cable and disconnect the compressor clutch wire from the air conditioning compressor.3. Safely discharge the air conditioning system using the proper recovery/recycling equipment.4. Loosen the power steering pump adjusting and mounting bolts.5. Remove the power steering belt.6. Remove the power steering pump. Leave the hoses attached; just move the pump out of the way.7. Disconnect the hoses from the compressor and cap the hoses and ports immediately to keep out dirt. Disconnect the brackets on the suction and discharge hose.8. Loosen the compressor mounting and adjusting bolts; remove the belt.9. Remove the condenser cooling fan and motor mounting frame at the radiator.10. Remove the mounting bolts and the compressor. Set the compressor on the engine support beam.11. Remove the compressor bracket. Remove the compressor from the engine compartment. If the compressor is to be replaced, note that two types of compressor are used: Keihin or Nippondenso. They are not interchangeable; the original type must be reinstalled.To install:12. If a new compressor is being installed, add 1 oz. (30 cc) of refrigerant oil through the suction port on the compressor.13. Install the compressor bracket. Tighten the bolts to 34 ft. lbs. (47 Nm).14. Install the compressor; tighten the bolts snug only.15. Install the fan and frame.16. Install the compressor belt. Final tighten the mounting bolts to 34 ft. lbs. (47 Nm); adjust the belt tension.17.

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.


Why is the Air conditioning pump not working on Vauxhall Astra?

Possible causes could include: Failed air-con on/off switch. Wiring fault. Compressor clutch fault. Blown fuse. No gas in system. the clutch on the compressor has a fuse and it was blown. i soldered across the fuse and the clutch is now working. also if there is not enough gas the clutch will not engage as well.
