the pulley on the harmonic balance drives the alternator belt. this is the pulley at the bottom of the engine ,on the front of the crank shaft if this pulley is not turning you have a problem. this means either the key is missing or the crankshaft is broken

if there isn't anything wrong with the belt the pulley is turning, check to see if the pulley is stuck, you might need to replace the pulley ( about $30 )

Usually its a bad a/c compressor bearing or idler pulley. Something is stopped and its melted the belt.

Seized belt driven accessory; i.e. alternator, a/c compressor, idler pulley, tensioner pulley, water pump, etc.
Your 1997 Buick Riviera SC is not accelerating normally after changing the alternator what is the problem?
I don't think of anything in comon between the two. If you have a check engine light, take it to autozone and have the codes read. I would change the fuel filter to see if maybe that happened at the same toime. Possibly have the wrong alternator pulley or belt is installed wrong. Can cause a short between the alternator and the frame.
Your 2001 Mazda protege has eaten up 5 alternator belts in 2 mos The alternator has been replaced Still the belt sqeaks very loudly threatening another eating of the belt?
Make sure the alternator is mounted square to the crank pulley and the bolts holding it are the right size. Some bolts have a bigger diameter that the threaded part or there are bushings in the alternator. If the wrong bolt was used or a bushing was not in the hole in the alternator, it will sit at a slight angle and tear up the belt. No reason it should be damaged, but make sure the crank pulley is tight and running straight. If it had a slight wobble that would do it also.

Your ac stopped blowing cold air after your battery died in your 1998 dodge caravan Can anyone tell you what went wrong and if the 2 things are related?
It could be a lose or broken belt. The same belt drives the AC and the alternator.
When a riding lawn mower squeaks and stops when you put the blade down what is wrong?
Sounds like the pulley that spins the blade is stuck. When the blade is lowered, the belt tightens on the pulley and spins it. If the pulley is stuck, it will not spin and the belt will "squeal" as it tries to spin it. The extra load that is added to the engine when the belt is trying to spin the stuck pulley is a bigger load than the engine can handle, so the engine stalls (stops). Check the blade pulley - or it is possible there may be some debris under the deck that is preventing the blades from turning.
