Was driving my 97 Yukon and smelled something hot. Couldn’t figure out what it was so I kept driving. By the time I got where I was doing it was making a noise. Opened the hood and it sounded like either power steering pump or AC compressor. I touched the AC compressor and it was super hot.
I’m thinking of jus throwing a bypass pulley on it for now. Hopefully I can just shove the compressor somewhere and zip tie it so I don’t have to open the system.
Any idea why it failed now? I was using defroster for a while, which I’d never done before since owning this vehicle. But in theory turning off defroster and going back to regular air should have solved the problem? But it didn’t.
