Can you drive without serpentine belt?

No, you cannot drive without a serpentine belt. The serpentine belt drives many essential components of your vehicle, including the alternator (which charges the battery), power steering pump, water pump (which circulates coolant), and air conditioning compressor. Without it, these components will not function, leading to:

* Loss of power steering: Making steering extremely difficult, especially at low speeds.

* Overheating: The engine will overheat quickly without coolant circulation.

* Dead battery: The alternator won't charge the battery, leaving you stranded.

* No air conditioning: Obvious comfort issue, but also impacts visibility if you rely on defogging.

Attempting to drive without a serpentine belt is extremely dangerous and could cause serious damage to your engine and leave you stranded. If the belt breaks, pull over to a safe location immediately and call for roadside assistance.
