Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I replaced a broken serpentine belt. After replacing
my car won’t start. Makes a funny grinding noise
I’ve never heard before. My car started every time
and ran perfectly fine before the old belt broke and
came off.

Take the belt off and see if it starts. If it does you have the belt routed incorrectly.
