With the radiator fan being energized and not turning, I suppose it was backfeeding, triggering the intermittent light and the reason for the AC compressor to become intermittent was a result in a rise in temperature since the fan was not turning. All is well now.
To: Skip19, I hope you got your issue squared away as I would not have been able to fix my own had you not started this thread and obtained the knowledgeable input from Pizzaguys reply....Peace
Are you sure the belt was correctly centred on all of the ribbed pulleys?
In the past belts have had this kind of damage when the end rib ran on the end of one or more of the pulleys which cut it off.
