I have a 1997 Honda Accord , 2.2 non vtec . Recently my radiator fan would not shut off and I had to take the fuse out to have it not run . A couple days later , my a/c compressor started smoking . I haven't ran it since and haven't had a chance to look at it because of my hectic work schedule . I finally have 2 days off and tried to start it to see what's happening (I know that's not the best idea) . It cranks and dies immediately after it turns over with massive belt squeal . I just recently replaced my alternator and battery when my car wasn't holding charge and then found out it was my ecu fuse under my dash . After that it was running fine for 3 days then the whole radiator fan issue then the a/c compressor a day later . I noticed a wire running from my radiator to my a/c compressor , could that be the issue ? please don't talk sh*t , I don't have much to any mechanical knowledge and i'm just a broke teenager that likes their cars and can't afford taking it to a shop .

 

I would check to see if your AC compressor is locked up....... That would be a reason for the massive belt squeal, the smoking, and for it to start and immediately die.....
