Why does the belt break when ac is turned on?

check a/c compressor and belt.

The AC pump is bad. When the AC is turned on the pump tries to turn, because it is bad the extra strain on the motor causes it to stall. Be carely this can break or through a belt. In short its like putting a "brake" on your motor.

With the ac off your clutch the outer non belt driven part will not be turning. When it is turned on it will start to spin.

Replace your a/c evaporator filter under dash. Liquid refrigerant is getting back to compressor causing belt to break.

Check for a slipping drive belt between encine crank pulley and AC compressor pulley.

power steering fan belt. It happened to my neon whenever the air was on. Try driving without the air on, if it runs fine then it is the fan belt. Mine squeeled when i turned on the ac and when i turned...$10 for a new AC belt and $40 service fee to have it installed. My car no longer sqeeks, and the AC is WONDERFUL!

Belt slipping? due to bad adjustment or glazing

Most likely the ac belt is loose and needs to be tightened or replaced.

The ac belt has a tensioner that is accessed from below, and takes a tensioner tool to loosen. Remove the serpentine belt, release tension on the ac belt then the belt can come off for replacement.

You need to loosen the belt tensioner. There is a large bolt that needs to be loosened in the center of the tensioner pulley. Then the small vertical bolt is turned in the direction to loosen the belt. After the tensioner is loose replace the belt and retension it.

The AC Belt connects to the crankshaft pully outer pully the one in front of the crankshaft belt

The compressor or it's pulley may be locked up or there may be something not aligned properly.

The ac belt will need to have the tensioner to take the belt off. The serpentine belt is in front of the compressor belt and will have to be removed first.

Belt about 20 bucks unless AC run by a "serpentine belt" (all one belt runs everything) then belt cost $ 80. and labor for serpentine $ 75. labor for just AC non serpentine belt $ 30

????? The belt only drives the AC so all you have is the tensioner, AC and main pully!

ac belt replacement kia spectra 2005

timing belt has absolutely nothing to do with the heater, there is an idle-up solenoid that keeps the idle from decreasing when the fan is turned on(whether it is the heater or AC), check this solenoid

You have to remove the ac belt first then the v belt. Once you get them off you need to replace the v belt and ensure it is tight enough. then the ac belt.

will chrysler lhs not run wen ac belt is broken

Only if the ac compressor is the only thing on that belt.

Replace belt self tensioner, if applicable. Adjust belt tension. Replace belt. Have ac pressures checked. AC compressor may be failing.

it is probably the bearings going out in the ac compressor pulley or belt slippage. the reason it is different when it is on is because the belt is not under "load" or has resistance.

If the squeeling is under the hood it is probably the AC belt. If the defroster is on the AC is on. Just tighten the belt. If the squeeling is under the hood it is probably the AC belt. If the defroster is on the AC is on. Just tighten the belt.

Unfortunately the Taurus needs the AC Pulley to turn the water pump you CAN get a bypass pully for 30 bux and use the same belt and routing but the shorter no AC belt will not work on that engine

how do you route the alternator and ac belt on a 2001 Mitsubishi eclipse
