I had a Jeep Grand Cherokee catch on fire after the AC clutch seized and basically the belt fried itself. It didn’t take 10 seconds for the whole thing to unfold.
You can put out fires with urine, by the way.
I will leave it at that.
You popped the hood and peed. Don’t lie.
I’ll avoid that wiener-roast.
That’s good to know. I usually have a jug of it in the back of the cargo van.
Same thing happened on my CR-V. To be fair to Honda, it was a 1997, with original clutch and compressor, and it happened last fall, when the vehicle was 20.5 years old. So, I don't feel too bad about it. The compressor seized, then the clutch started sparking and smoking. I was actually trying to figure out if the system needed more refrigerant, and had the refill charging can hooked up. I figured there was an issue when the gauge on the can showed the pressure to be too high.
Thankfully, nothing else caught. And that year of CR-V has three separate drive belts for alternator, a/c compressor, and power steering, so once everything cooled down, I just reached in and cut the belt for the a/c off.
I remember a trip over the bald hills when Dad, my brothers and I all pissed in the radiator to get back to civilization.
If you are going to get the piss scared out of you, might as well direct it.
