2005 Ford Taurus Siezed A/C Compressor
I have a 2005 Ford Taurus and the a/c compressor siezed and the serpantine belt snapped last week. I took it to a shop and they said there is no way to bypass the a/c compressor and there is no one that makes an after market bypass pully for this model.
My question: Can I bypass the A/C compressor on the 05' Taurus with a shorter serpantine belt? If yes, what length should it be? Is this a reliable solution? |

Re: 2005 Ford Taurus Siezed A/C Compressor
For your question, it depends if you have the OHV or the DOHC (duratech) engine. If you have the DOHC, you can't bypass the compressor with a shorter serpantine belt. But you can remove compressor and use the Bypass Pulley in the Mark's link. And use OEM or other brands belt for this car.
If you have the OHV (vulcan) engine, you can bypass the compressor with a shorter belt. But I don't know the lenght, since all stock 96-today taurus come with A/C as standard. So you can use Mark's trick to find the appropriate belt for it.

Re: 2005 Ford Taurus Siezed A/C Compressor
The A/C on the DOHC CAN be bypassed!!! I did it.
I bought the belt at Oreilly. The receipt says the part # is MBH K060630 Micro-V belt for &15.99. Just route the belt in the red area i have added in the diagram instead of the A/C. You will notice that the ribbed side of the belt touches the smooth water pump pulley now, but this will not hurt anything. The auto parts stores only tell you it cannot be done because they do not show a diagram for these cars WITHOUT A/C like some older cars would show. It is possible. Go try it, and drive another 100,000 miles! |

Re: 2005 Ford Taurus Siezed A/C Compressor
Not sure why it's not working. I'm not at my computer right now. Basically you just route the belt from the crankshaft Pully up and over the water pump, then on its regular path the rest of the way. Look at your belt diagram under the hood, and just bypass the ac.
