Serp belt squeek/ guages weird
I have a 2001 jeep cherokee. I was driving the other day and half way to dropping my wife off at work my serpentine belt was squeaking , it stopped for a second , then check Gage's lite came on and showed alt not charging. Not wanting to stop and get stranded I dropped wife off and headed back home, check Gage's light on all this time. Made it back home , shut off jeep, then restated jeep, light went out and all back to normal. Is it common for the guages to reset? Any ideas or has any seen this?

I would start by having the alt. tested. it sounds like it may be on the way out. But, If you are lucky your belt may be a little loose. Although it sounds more like your alt is going to fail you soon. The only reason I say this is because if it was only the belt slipping it would show your symptoms more often. Let us know what you find.
