A/C smoke!?

I was driving at highway speed and turned my A/C on.

I got smoke thru the dash vents that hard a strong "rubber" smell. Turned the A/C and drove home.No over heating. Alt still charging.

Got home and turned the A/C on again. No smoke, but only hot air thru the A/C system now.

Could someone tell me what happened? Thanks in advance.

Re: A/C smoke!?

Compressor may have seized up and caused the belt burning smell.

When you checked it at home, was the compressor turning or just the pulley?
