S10 Compressor cluth or compressor??

Jul 16, 2004 3 Replies

My compressor pulley stopped spinning yesterday on the interstate and melted the belt.



How can I tell if it is the clutch or the compressor itself? When I turn off the air the pull willspin freely. There was a ton of what looks like brake dust coming out from between the pulley and the clutch.



Thanks!!

PS It has always cranked out cold air. Never sounded bad or anything.


Is there a way to test it to determine? Is it as simple as engaging the clutch removing the belt and seeing if I can turn it?
