Serpentine belt is cooked
Alright, so yesterday my car was struggling to start, and I was completely confused considering I just got a new battery. Then my brake light and battery light came on, and fucking smoke started rising from my engine bay. When I checked, my serpentine belt was cooked. I’m assuming it’s just old and slipped and burned itself from me trying to start it continuously , but is there anything I should be checking for when I put the new one on tomorrow?
