Had the car on and turned up the heat and started smelling burning rubber and heard a ticking noise. Turned the heat down and the sound stopped but not the smell. So I shut the car off and looked under the car and found a couple pieces of broken rubber belt. Checked the serpentine belt and it is intact. What is causing the smell and noise and what needs fixed?

Hey ROBYN,

It sounds like you have a idles pulley what it trying to lock up, remove the serpentine belt and spin each pulley to see which one it not turning well.
