Polarbear Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 So earlier today I was playing my music almost full tilt.. then I heard a weird belt screeching sound and my dash lit up with the battery symbol. Then I checked my vm-1 it sits at 12.5.. It usually says 14.6-14.9.. What happened!? should I put it on the xs power charger? or what? Thanks in advance for any help! 02 impala VM-1 2 dc 12 xl's RF t2500bdcp Second skin damp pro Kenwood head unit 240 mechman alt d3400 in the front d3100 in the rear 50ft Rockford fosgate ofc 1/0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh G. Rection Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 either your alternator died or you need to replace the belt that drives the alternator. Owner of BigAss Ports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh G. Rection Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 Your serpentine belt was slipping on your alt, not too much you can do to fix it unless you want to fabricate. plenty you can do. shorter belt, taller pulley on the alt, or just get down there and tighten the fuckin' thing.
