Hi,
My A/C stopped working last Friday. It stopped working like this every 18 months as the Fan control module simply burned. Appears to be an electrical problem every time. I replaced the module and A/C worked fine again.
I replaced both fans last year.
This time is different. Both fans still work when I press the A/C button but no cold air comes in. Engine RPM drops slightly. I assume because both fans kick in. Problem is I don't think the compressor kicks in. Any suggestions what the problem might be?
Is the compressor driven by a belt and activated by the clutch? I smelled burnt right before A/C failed. Is it possible that the belt broke?
