A few days ago, my serpentine belt split. It broke right when I started the engine, but I did not realize that was the popping sound I heard until I pulled into a gas station a few miles from where I started driving. I "thought" it was the power steering belt so I pulled out the belt and continued to drive home. I got about 7 or 8 eight miles and the car started convulsing like Frankenstien...then I knew it was not the steering belt. I had it towed to my house and it is completely dead. I tried charging for about 7 minutes and the car made the dinging sound it makes when you have the door open, but that was the only electric notification I could get. Do I just need to charge it more or is this something bigger? I also did not have the black cable on the discharged car, it was applied to the metal of the car.
