My 2001 Ford Crown Victoria A/C clutch pulley is not turning properly and is causing the serpentine belt to break. How can I by-pass or neutralize the A/C pulley so engine can run without A/C until I can afford to get A/C fixed?

SOURCE: 2004 and 2001, are parts interchangeable?

Yes they are as long as the Motors are Similar.

Turn each pulley by hand and check for binding or roughness. Also check to make sure none have any wobble or side play.(if they do, they may be bad...not just the pulley, but whatever it's on...alternator, power steering pump etc) After the belt is back on, sight down the belt from the side and check to make sure everything is lined up properly. Watch it run for awhile and make sure nothing is shocking the belt such as an intermittently binding power steering pump or a/c compressor. Shouldn't be too hard to find out what's wrong.
Good luck...any questions about what you find just ask!

Also check to see if there is power in the start wire form the ignition switch, the wire is a white wire with pink stripe, most likely not a common problem, but still something that could go wrong. this wire will feed the starter relay under the hood...
