Warm air from the vents, a clutch that will not engage, or a grinding or squealing noise from the compressor can mean it is wearing out. A refrigerant leak, a failed relay or a worn belt can be behind these signs too, so find the cause before you buy a compressor. There is one compressor per car, turned by the engine's serpentine belt.
