the next challenge - car still won’t start. cranks really slowly and dies out. i’m wondering what the heck.
after i try to start it i go poke around and find the serpentine belt is warm. hmm.

so i have one of my kids crank the starter and i watch everything on the serpentine belt. i see the alternator turn about 5% then stop, and the starter slowly drags the belt
over the alternator pulley until it runs out of battery.

so, alternator now. whee.
