The serpentine belt replaced. It drove great for 2 days and started right away. I noticed it seemed it was sticking a little when I accelerated. The gauges looked okay. I drove home when I tried to turn back on gauge lights work but car makes no sound when I turn the key doesn't start. What could be wrong?
Thank you.

Here is the belt diagram routing. Make sure the belt is still in place and did not break or come off for some reason. If it came off, then your battery voltage will be too low for the Starter motor.
