This recently happend like last week. I was talking to my girlfriend and the air conditioner was on full blast. All of the sudden, I hear this loud noise and my car stalls...So I turned off the AC and start the car again. I turned on the AC back on and my car stalls when I push it. I wasn't driving or anything, just parked under the hot Cali sun. So I was thinking, maybe it's time to take out the AC...cuz I have no interest in spending lots of money to fix it. But what bothers me the most is now, when I turn on the front window defroster, it stalls. This just happend this morning. So does the front window defroster have anything to do with the AC...? Nothing happens if I put it on the front window defroster and feet...just the front window defroster itself. So my question, is it my AC unit? Or is it something else...?

Thanks Nico for your help!

Sounds like your a/c compressor seized up. And, yes. When you put on in defog/defrost, your a/c compressor automatically turns on.
