problem #1

Jan 052005

Escort 4-cyl

Driving in the rain, running through puddles causes my serpentine belt to come off. Had a mechanic put the belt back on. No problems with the belt or the tension. Apparently just getting the belt wet is enough to have it walk off the bottom pulley. When this happens I of course lose my power steering and it runs my battery down.
