Hello,
I have an explorer 2012 ltd (48K miles) that I took to go on vacation.
While driving I saw smoke coming out of the front side of the engine. At first I though it was a seized brake caliper (because both rears had that issue) but the rim was cold. Then I noticed melted black rubber underneath the engine compartment. (I guess from the seal inside the compressor), because the main belt is fine.
Afterwards I only had hot air and also noticed the pulley ( I'm assuming ) was making clunking noise.
Would this be a total AC overall, or just the clutch assembly, or maybe just the AC compressor?
Thanks
Phil
