Hi, The compressor on my 1998 Isuzu Rodeo has just seized for the third time and I'm told it needs to be replaced. I'm told if I don't replace the compressor it will damage the serpentine belt. Can I disconnect the air conditioner so I don't have to spend any more money on it? Thanks! Kristi

YES! If the bearing to the clutch is good and quiet just unplug it (compressor) and tie the wire away from harm. T

Hi Tom,
Thanks for the quick reply! The mechanic tells me the pulley/clutch assembly is damaged and would continue to make a noise even if he disconnected the compressor. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Kristi

You can replace just the clutch and pulley or sometimes buy a belt for the car as if it never had A/C and bypass it completely. If that clutch and it is also just a pulley was the whole problem you may have A/C again. T
