My windshield was frozen over so I turned on the defroster and scraped off my car. My car began to make a funny sound and then began smoking. Once I turned off the defroster my car was fine. Yesterday night however coming home my car died. I was able to restart it and got into the parking lot of my apartment complex and it died. The battery and oil lights came on however I got it restarted. This morning it started fine. I was wondering if it could be the fan belt. I checked the oil and it is full.

I think this is what happened the A/C come on in defrost if compressor locked up then belt got fried ie. The smoke. Check to see if your belt is good and does it go to alt. And A/C. Some toyoto engines do.
