Where is the A/C compressor located in my vehicle listed above (Hybrid)? The A/C was not working sometimes but was rectified by switching off then back on the vehicle. But today it stopped working totally.

There are two styles of AC system on these cars both have compressors but only one uses a belt powered by the engine. The compressor should be on the lower left hand side of the engine. I would check is for power at the compressor with the system on to see if it is the compressor or something electrical. Also I would check the pressures.

Here are diagrams and diagrams below to help see what is going on:

And to check for power at the compressor.

If the compressor is bad

Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.
