This is one way that can locate hidden circuit breakers. It is not the best way because an arc flash could result if the breaker does not trip. An arc flash can generate enough heat instantaneously to burn the flesh off of any exposed skin. If there is combustible products or combustible air mixture that is in the general location of the arc, a fire could be easily started. The way that I do it is to load the circuit. I have a 3000 watt heater that I plug in to the circuit that I am trying to locate the breaker for. This loads the 15 amp circuit to 25 amps. The circuit breaker is located in a few seconds.

Can a 40 amp breaker not a 4 amp breaker be used to replace a 35 amp breaker for ac unit?

No, it is not recommended to replace a 35 amp breaker with a 40 amp breaker for an AC unit. Breakers are designed to protect the circuit and the equipment, so using a higher rated breaker can lead to overheating and potential damage. It is best to use the correct amperage rated breaker for the equipment.
