Lawrence,

I believe I have been running with one.  I would leave it off.

No charging.  Battery light & brake light on when driving.  I guess I'll take the alternator out and have it tested.  How many ways can an alternator fail if it has a new regulator/brush combo?  Voting against the wires and for the alternator being bad.  Lawrence Rhodes

Check the pulley grooves carefully. I have had chunks of belts "bury"
themselves deep in the grooves and throw belts off.

If you have a noisy or "bouncing" belt, hold a wax candle against the
belt "shoulder" on both sides of the belt. It will let the belt "nest"
in the pulley.

When you replace one belt replace all 3. Why? Because its a pain to do. PS, maybe your belt problem is related to your other problems. Max
