2005 kia Sedona

I have a 2005 Kia Sedona. In Feb I replaced the serpentine belt and the alternator. i also replace the battery. Now my battery light goes on after I start it and it goes off like after a min when I accelerate. I was driving home from camping which I was on a dirt road for 40 miles could that have anything to do with.

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!

Check the connection between the alternator and the battery, my connectors were bad and it played hell with the charging.

Replaced serpentine belt on 2005 Kia Sedona when done I cranked the car backed it up and the belt broke again. I believe one of the pulleys isn’t turning. How can I tell which pulley is not working?

According to my information there are only three things that belt actuates. The only easy one to test is the power steering pump. You should be able to turn it by hand. If it turns, the issue is the cam shaft and that is a major repair.

How do you replace a serpentine belt on a 2005 3.5 liter Kia Sedona

Click on the following free, direct Link. It has the Serpentine Belt Diagrams you will need.

http://www.2carpros.com/car_repair_information/year/2005/make/kia/model/sedona/2005_kia_sedona_drive_belt_routing_diagram.htm

On the Serpentine Belt: Scroll down the Link Page to Diagram G00323207, it shows the Tensioner.
1. Loosen the Pulley Lock Nut - identified as "A"
2. Loosen the Adjustment Bolt - identified as "B"
3. The Tensioner Pulley should move up and slightly to the left, loosening the belt enough to remove.

Installation is the reverse of the above.
Note on Diagram G00323206 the deflection tolerance at the 22 lbs pressure on the belt.

Let me know if this helped, or if you have additional information or questions. Feel Free to contact me at FixYa.com!
