What you need to do is go to a parking lot where there is a Jeep, take your picture with it, and send it to him. Then he'll let you alone. (Lol)

Okay, if the belt is tight, the alt is good, and the battery is good, there is what is called a fuseable link. It is a wire that is designed to melt, like a fuse, if too much power is sent through it. If it is bad, power from the alternator can not make it to the battery.

It doesn't look like a fuse. It is actually a wire. The wire, like a fuse, is designed to melt when too much power is sent through it.

The starter is in the front of the engine. It is near the top of the oil pan (level). It bolts to the transmission bell housing.

I wish you were my mom. Ha. Let us know what is going on with the car. Remember, a fuseable link looks like a regular wire. When you locate it, gently pull on it to see if the insulation on the wire stretches at any point. If it does, it is bad.
