I'm guessing an older rearwheel drive? You should be able to find a different pulley to go on the water pump. From a car that didn't have AC. If front wheel drive, you will probably need an idler pulley and find some way to mount it.
Determine what is causing the problem, faulty belt tensioner, alternator water pump, a/c compressor, one or more of these components could cause the problem.
There is no problem...the problem was the alternator. You have fixed the problem.
it sounds to me like a compressor problem. check the belt make sure it's the right size and that it is not sliping. on the electrical side of your question the compressor has a clutch on it which is electrical. the clutch has to activate so the compressor could do its work.(i doubt is the clutch)
Check your battery... The A/C Compressor is probably bad. I had the same problem and when you turn on the ac it engages a clutch that is driven by your fan belt and if the compressor is bad it will stop the belt from turning and stall the engine. The same thing will happen for a bad alternator.
There is no fuse for an alternator.
yes the alternator can generate noise or whine in the speakers.
Remove the serpentine belt and check the belt and pulleys for damage. While the belt is off, turn the alternator by hand listening for the noise.
The simplest method to check where the problem lies, remove the negative cable. If motor still running problem lies with battery.if not running problem lies alternator .
If the AC pulley is locking up when the ac compressor clutch engages, it's not a clutch problem, it's a compressor problem. But yes, the AC clutch can usually be replaced separately. The problem is, if the clutch is worn out the compressor is probably worn out as well. It usually isn't that much more to replace the whole thing.
your condensor is clogged up, or your condensor fanmotor is not working, or your compressor struckup due mechanical problem inside of your compressor.
What, exactly, is the problem?
A quick way to tell if there might be a problem with an alternator is to remove the positive side battery cable from the battery while the vehicle is idling. If the engine dies, odds are there is an alternator problem.
