Water pump driven by the accessory belt?
This is pretty new to me. All my older cars have crank-driven water pumps. I am wondering whether there is the possibility that the accessory belt is broken, but engine keeps running, overheat and RIP? Is there any mechanism to prevent this from happening? Thanks for the advice!

You'll get the check engine light with several different codes, the car will go into limp mode and the coolant temp gauge will be pegged. If you don't see all that and pull over and turn off the engine, what happens after is on you LOL.
Also that serpentine belt drives a lot of other accessories so you'll see many other issues before you even get that far. You'll have so many other warning lights, driveability issues and problems going on, you'll be on the side of the road long before the engine cooks itself. |

I'm having a challenging day ....... Santa brought mrs humfrz an Echo Dot thing ...... now, I can't tell if she is talking to me or that thing ...... In addition, I just got my new drone charged up and ready to fly and since it cold and snowy outside ........ I was going to do a test flight inside the house. mrs humfrz is not real wild about that idea. I've never flown one before ....... but I used to be pretty good with the Microsoft flight simulator ........ sorry OP (but he started it ......) humfrz |

With electric power steering, fuel pump, ECU that only works within a certain voltage, DLRs always on, and all the other electric powered parts of a modern car? My money is on dead enough battery to not run before boil over. The battery doesn't have to be completely drained to shut down the car.
