  • Seized component that’s not allowing crankshaft to turn (bc it’s attached to the crank via drive belt) has a unique sound or characteristic when you try to start car. IF that’s what’s happening it’s most often a clutch-style AC compressor locked up. I’ve not known alternators to be able to lock up that hard. Troubleshooting this is seeing if it starts with the serpentine belt removed. Hydraulic belt tensioner, apply constant pressure and they slowly release.
