What happens if the serpentine belt is not working?
It provides power for the air conditioning, alternator, power steering, and sometimes the cooling system water pump. The serpentine belt is a critical part of this system, and once the engine is running, it continues to operate until the vehicle is shut off. Without a properly functioning serpentine belt, the engine may not run at all.
How do you tighten the belt on a serpentine car?
To correct the problem, tighten your belt. Open the hood and locate the adjustment screw that controls tension on the serpentine belt.
