a/c clutch

That's odd.Once when I was working at Ford dealership,a Taurus came in with major belt squeal.One of the guys popped the hood and started it up.The AC clutch locked the pully up and the belt was burning up bad smoking and all.I guess if the belt and tensioner are both in top shape then it could prevent the engine from turning.
