Recently my a/c had a massive leak due to hose hanging too low on my intake and it burnt/melted through the hose. Wasn’t too concerned about it as don’t use the ac much and figured I’d fix it next summer until I started getting a nasty squealing and burning rubber or plastic smell. Pulled over off highway and there was smoke and some kind melting substance dripping out of and around ac compressor. I’d like to just replace the compressor, bolt it on without hooking up hoses or charging a/c and let it run as an idler pulley basically until I can get a shop to charge it properly form me. My question is, would this just be ruining another compressor?
I’ve also read that you can get a shorter belt and bypass condenser but I can’t figure a way to run it besides putting the belt on the other, top side of the vacuum pump. If any of all have done this before could you let me know how you ran the belt?
I think this happened because I was using the defrost with heat on and I wasn’t aware that utilizes the condenser/ac clutch.
Any advice or tips would be appreciated. Thanks y’all.
