Has anyone had this happen? Driving normally down the interstate. AC stopped cooling, Battery Light came on. Pulled over to the shoulder quickly because I knew the Serpentine Belt must have broken.
I found the belt was laying down in front of the engine. It did not break. I looked at all the pulleys and noticed a small one in the Center Right of the front of the engine that had burnt rubber on it. This pulley would not turn. All other pulleys turned (except the Engine Crank Pulley).
I had it taken to the dealer and was informed that the Water Pump bearing failed. Just wanted to know if that pulley that is locked is part of the water pump.
Any enlightenment would be appreciated.
