Yup, the light bulb went on on the way to look at the car, i had remembered the same thing happening with my se, just took a few to sink in.



The ******* that borrowed my car told me he tightened the belt, the thing was WAY to tight.

you might even need to check the bearings in the alternator, make sure there isnt any play since it was overtightened
