car is a 03 accord euro AUTO
hey, a few days ago my car started to have a squeaking noise, I noticed my battery light on dash has lit up, & I found out that the drive belt tensioner is worn (shaky) but I kept driving it the following day as I had work & suddenly the car stalls. So I got it jump started but the same thing would happen. I also swapped the batter from my other car just so I can start it up to get it home (swapped the battery back into other car & it's dead). Well after I changed the tensioner (I figured there might be too much slack on the belt due to tensioner hence not charging) it wouldd still do the same I'm 99% sure it's the alternator that has died but I'd love to get a confirmation to see if this has ever happened to anyone else before I start throwing money away on things that don't require changing
