				My serpentine belt is stupid.
			 
			
			
			The belt on mah Ben-ZO is very loose and, subsequently, the alternator/generator does not charge the battery. 
		
		
		
			
		
		
		
		
		
			I had to get three jumps today while I went about my chores... Anyway, if you need me, I'll be out in the garage, tightening that belt..... ![]() PS - TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY. I AM NOW OFFICIALLY 18....I USED TO BE ALMOST 18, BUT NOW I REALLY AM...18, THAT IS

			Ahhhhhhh. I guess I need to be under the car to reach the alternator... 
		
		
		
			
		
		
		
		
		
			Dang. I guess I'll have to leave the battery on a charger for tonight, and then work on it first thing tomorrow morning. I have no class or work tomorrow, so I'mma be freeeeeeee to do what ever floats my proverbial boat.

			Not trying to be offensive, but if your telling a 18 year old to be carefull under the car, what would you tell a 15 year old?

			I'm going to drive it up on some wheel ramps. 
		
		
		
			
		
		
		
		
		
			With that advice in mind, Nate, I'll replace the belt. Actually, I think I should replace the whole lot of them, for they are ancient and cracked. Sigh. I don't mind working on the car, but I F*$&%^#% hate spending money.
