Alright so something on the A/C belt drive is squeeking hella loud, so I was just going to cut off the belt (too lazy to remove it the right way) for now as a temp fix. Now obviously my a/c wont work anymore, but I was curious about the defrost. I know powering on the defrost setting uses the ac compressor, so does this mean defrost wont work if I remove the AC belt?

It will work, but not as well, when you put it on defrost it runs the a/c to dry the air, which helps defrost the windshield. It will work just might take longer to get the windshield clear.

Figured, but just wanted to make sure... Thanks for the quick reply.

I would think it may cause it to fog up somewhat. My honda Civic Piece of **** i drive to work doesnt have A/C and it will fog the windshield up sometimes.

jee sounds like you answered your own question...for the record i have never heard of anyone cutting their belt off bc they were too lazy to actually remove it. that is just plain stupid.

i know my defroster doesn't do jack in my '88 bronco II with the a/c removed. i'm thinking about trying the rainX stuff that is meant for fog.

yeah don't worry I did it the right way... took 30 secs.
Mission accomplished though, no more squeak.
