Was driving my Jeep to work this morning with the a/c on, just got it back up last night from a radiator issue. Got off the freeway, noticed a clacking noise comming from the engine when at idle, then at the next stop light got some major belt squeal. turned the a/c off and it went away.
tried turning the a/c on a few min later to see what was going on, and noticed a noise again, plus a chemical smell comming through the vents. turned it back off.
got to work, gave it a quick test while parked, when the a/c is on i'm getting a bad vibration coupled with a 300rpm drop... it didn't do that before.
So did I seize a compressor bearing this morning? I just got this a/c system working again about a month ago, have been having a squeal problem that I thought was a loose belt, unknown how long it had been out of comission as it didn't work when I bought the Jeep last year.
Thanks in advance.
