What...the...hell... A/C Belt mystery.


Recommended Posts

What exactly do you think would cause the A/C belt to turn inside out when running? I have an inboard A/C compressor.

 

My wife came in the other day saying her A/C doesn't work and it squeeks when she turns it on. So I go out there and tell her to start the car, and turn on the A/C, I was so focused on the clutch, to make sure the compressor is spinning. I didn't notice the belt at first. I see the clutch sorta engage the compressor, the squeeking begins, and the compressor slows down to a stop. I then notice the A/C belt is literally inside out. The belt teeth are on the outside and the belt backing/band is on the pulleys. So yesterday I take the belts off and put them back on. Tight as I can. Then today. The belt twists around inside out again. WTF?!?
