I had the old A/C compressor and clutch pulley replaced with new Toyota parts a few weeks ago and today driving on the street, I heard a noise and then saw more and more smoke coming out from under the hood.
I pulled over and found the A/C belts was smoking because the A/C pulley was frozen while the engine was turning. I was able to borrow someone's heavy garden clippers which allowed me to clip the belt and get back on the road again. Strange thing was that everything ran fine except the A/C of course but also, all the power windows and sunroof would not work, nor would the climate control fan or the instrument cluster.
Wondering if I have a compressor problem or an electrical problem?
