Car had been making squeaking noise from the serpentine belt area. Battery light flashed then it shut off on me yesterday. I put a new battery in today and my car wouldn't stay started. Battery light still on after trying to reset it. Harmonic Balancer is a little wobbly when I start my car. Should I replace the alternator or the harmonic balancer.
