Car died last night driving down road after things started dimming and the Brake and battery lights came on. Looked under the hood this morning and there is not a belt that goes from alternator to anywhere. I have a 2000 kia sephia LS i believe? Is the serpentine belt supposed to be running around everything?? if so, what size serpentine belt do i need? theres different sizes...dont know which one...

any aftermarket brake fluid will be fine. the actual grade is located on the top of the fluid cap. you can find the universal grade at your local auto parts shop.

Go to Auto Zone to get the fault codes read. They'll do it for free. Then, they can tell you exactly what parts are going bad.

It's normal for belts to loosen up a little after installation. I'd check the belt and re-tighten until there's no slack. A slipping belt would certainly cause the issue you have. Hope this answers your question. Best of luck!

i would take the belt off and then check the idler pulley assembly..it could be worn out..since the belt is off check the alternator pulley for any play also. A loose belt will not help the battery to keep a charge. if everything looks o.k. and you said you have a new battery and belt then it looks like your alternator went bad. Hope this helps.

okay the squeal is a belt under the hood one of them may be to tight or worn out. also you can try spraying belt cleaner and lubricant. you can pick it up at any autoparts store. DO NOT USE WD40!!!!!!!
and if your car is overheating with a new radiator then you may just need to replace your thermastat.
