Want this question answered?
if you mean engine fans,then a quick way to test is,if your car has air conditioner start engine and let idle turn on air conditioner and turn interior fan to high,this will,or should make your thermo or engine fan operate,if it does not you will have an electrical fault,ie fuse,fan motor ,relay,
First blush guess: the compressor is siezed, so that the engine can't turn it. If you rev up the engine a bit before you turn it on, you might find that the engine will load, but not die, and the belt will slip/squeal/smoke.
No. The air conditioner is driven by the engine crankshaft, so it will not turn if the engine is not running. Just so you know, you are wasting a lot of gas by driving around with your A/C engaged all the time.
You should turn it off and let it thaw out.
counter clockwise
You should turn on the ventilation before filling the fuel tanks and after starting the engine.
It's a good idea, but not necessary. I always do, but know lots of people who don't. Yes, if you don't your car can wear out faster so you have to buy a new car more often.
the compressor is places a drag on the engine,as a result it would generate more heat but the car should not be overheating. The fan motors should be on when the a/c is running.
The Prius gasoline engine will start when the main battery charge gets low and begin to charge the battery. The air conditioner in the Prius is all electric, there is no compressor drag on the gasoline engine.
You should turn on the ventilation before filling the fuel tanks and after starting the engine.
In this order only. Turn engine off. Depress parking brake. Turn engine on. Lights will turn off. To turn lights back on relase parking brake.
open all hatches and turn on ventilation system
