Electrical problem
1999 Ford Escort 4 cyl Wheel Drive Type unknown Automatic 120000 miles

My friends car broke down and he didn't know why. It just turned of. When I looked under the hood I noticed his altinator belt (also in charge of power steering) was shredded. I went and replaced it. His batterie looked old to. So since I had to go to auto zone anyway. I decided to have the batterie checked. It wasn't holding the charge that well. After I got the belt on and replaced the batterie. It was fine for awhile but then the horn started saying on every time he armed the car. And also something is draining the batterie.
