Great point, Scott! I looked, the belt looks fine and tight.

I generally know just enough to get in trouble.

Something similar happened before and it was the small blue wire that was disconnected on the alternator.

"Come to the edge.' 'We can't. We're afraid.' 'Come to the edge.' 'We can't. We will fall!' 'Come to the edge.' And they came. And he pushed them. And they flew." Guillaume Apollinaire (1880 - 1918)

"A master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between their work and their play; their labor and their leisure; their mind and their body; their education and their recreation. They hardly know which is which. They simply pursue their vision of excellence through whatever they are doing, and leave others to determine whether they are working or playing. To themselves, they always appear to be doing both." -L.P. Jacks
