Why does my car lose power when the AC is not on?
Open the hood, locate the AC compressor, and disconnect the wiring harness going to the compressor’s clutch. The clutch allows the compressor to be turned by the AC belt. When it’s not energized, the compressor doesn’t turn, so it doesn’t eat engine power.
Why does air conditioning take away from driving?
The car’s engine is used to propel the car forward, but it only provides power to other functions in the car. Be aware that the air conditioning system will use of some of this power and, therefore, take it away from the driving mechanism. It shouldn’t matter whether the car is accelerating or driving normally.
When does the AC go on in a car?
In the summer, you can feel the air get warmer from the vents while accelerating hard, but the car gives you the power you are asking for. The indicator light for AC stays on the whole time. I assume many car companies would be doing something similar by now.
How can I Turn Off the AC in my car?
Put your controls to “off”, “vent” or “heat”. Totally disable it. Open the hood, locate the AC compressor, and disconnect the wiring harness going to the compressor’s clutch. The clutch allows the compressor to be turned by the AC belt.
