ok so my a/c compressor is seizing and my belt stops moving and so on. probably just the magnetic clutch. anyone got any ideas how to free it instead of me buying a new one? thanks

^ do you mean take it off?

when my ac motor seized up on my old car...i just shortened the belts that goes to the alternator and so on and by pass the ac motor

yea like take it off, clean it and stuff so it spins freely instead of gettin stuck.. i really dont wanna buy a new ac pulley haha, i dont use ac often enough but when i do need it i dont wanna hear that stupid noise

rjngo

well i don't think you can clean it...best thing is to replace the whole thing because no matter what you do to it...in a couple of days the noise will come back

you might just need to replace the clutch.

ya probably i just gotta take a better look at it tonight when i get home

If the clutch was worn out then the ac pulley would just spin freely it would not get stuck. More than likely it could be a lack of lubricating oil inside the compressor and its overheating inside and seizing up.

I think this might be common on 99-00 cause I hear a lot of them driving by with that squeaky belt sound. I had my AC pulley replaced, when I looked at it the bearings inside were seized.

well when i hit the AC button it spins and stops and spins so on so on, once i have it off its like.. perfect and nothing wrong, so im just assuming its my compressor seizing and preventing the pulley to spin sometimes. ill update everyone later on since im gonna tackle this job ryu style

Capo

ur compressor is suppose to spin then stop then spin then stop.......

imported_kungfugrip

its not supposed to sound like its having a mid life crisis tho! haha
and plus the freakin belt is stopping too when the pulley stops...

Capo

If its engaging the A/C compressor and then when it goes to release and its not then I would look at the coil inside the compressor being the issue or a connector causing it to not completely release.

ya i dunno.. still tryin to figure out wtf is wrong with it, gonna get a tech from work to take a look at it 2morrow just 2 be sure. thanks capo
