Car Forum / GMC Cars / July 2006air conditioner S10
My serpentine belt is sqealing when I run my air on my S10 . Is it low on Feon or can a bad belt cause this ? Or is my clutch going out? Please help. How do I distinguish between the problems? > My serpentine belt is sqealing when I run my air on my S10 . Is it low > on Feon or can a bad belt cause this ?

Check belt tension (rent the tool). Use a piece of heater hose as a stethoscope to locate the source of the squeal. > > My serpentine belt is sqealing when I run my air on my S10 .

Thank you , the belt is chewed up a little and the clutch does not turn , it tries but slips and squeals . I have 130k miles and never recharged the feon . I bypassed the low pressure switch and clutch just tries to turn but does not -- it seems to be chewing up the belt. > Thank you , the belt is chewed up a little and the clutch does not turn > , it tries but slips and squeals .

Maybe your compressor is locked up. Does the AC clutch turn freely when it is inactive? It should. If you try to turn a locked up compressor or defective clutch while bypassing the low pressure switch, of course it is going to eat up a belt. I believe I would reactivate the LP switch, get a new belt, and drive to an AC shop >> Thank you , the belt is chewed up a little and the clutch does not turn >> , it tries but slips and squeals .
