How to change a belt on a 1996 plymouth breeze?
We are trying to change a serpentine belt on a 1996 plymouth breeze. There is a cover in the way and we aren't sure how to get that off. It is the one on the top by the alternator.How to change a belt on a 1996 plymouth breeze?Those type of covers usually snap into position and could have a bolt or screw holding them on, plus if bolt or screw is used their positioned about centre so it holds the cover more firmly, to keep them from rattling and more balanced etc.

355 roller serpintine belt change?
I have an 87 monte carlo with a 355 roller. How do I change the serpintine belt? do I have to pull off the alternator belt? Where do I adjust the tightness of the pullies? What tools will I need? HELP!!!!!!!!355 roller serpintine belt change?If you have a spring tensioner, then there should be some way to lever the tensioner pulley against the spring to relieve tension and change the belt. If not, then there's a belt adjustment on one of the driven accessories. Do you normally have to adjust the belt, or is it automatic? If it's automatic, then you have a spring-loaded tensioner pulley.
How do I stop the squeaking of a belt on my car?
I have a car that we changed the water pump and alternator/air conditioning belt on. Now when I crank it it goes thump thump thump like its going to stop running at first. If I give it gas it sounds fine except the belt starts squeaking. After a few seconds it acts fine. It only does this when its first cranked and if its been itting for more than about 10 minutes since it was last cranked. When the water pump was changed it was very hard to get to. We had to take off the air filter, timing belt, Airconditoner belt. Im really sure the timing is right cause it drives really good. I was just wondering what could be causing this and how to fix it. Also how do I get the belt to quit squeaking? Thanks for your answers.How do I stop the squeaking of a belt on my car?other than adjusting the belt ,which i would start there,you can also use a bar of soap and rub it on the belt for temporary relief of noise.How do I stop the squeaking of a belt on my car?Tighten the belt

One easy way to find out is to go to auto parts store and get a can of spray %26quot;Belt Dressing%26quot; about a 3.00 item
With your motor running spray alll the belts you can see.
Wear some protective eye wear when you do this.
If it is just the belt (being new) the squeaking should stop.
If that is not the problem, you may have your belts too tight and some adjustment is needed. Lets hope the spray works out for you. (oh by the way, the spray is good for lawn mower belts as well).How do I stop the squeaking of a belt on my car?Put a little brake fluid on it. I bet it's a Mitsubishi. Enjoy.How do I stop the squeaking of a belt on my car?Change or adjust the fan belt.How do I stop the squeaking of a belt on my car?A belt that has gotten antifreeze or water on will be noisy. With new belts, they will stretch and not pull and the sqeaking is due to slipage. New belts need to be retightened after two weeks and sometimes done two or three times before they settle in. If your car has an automatic tensionor (spring loaded) the spring may have lost its power, or broke, or the belt could be too long. The squeaking right at start-up is the altenator requiring the extra *unph* to put back into the battery what you took out on startup.
Is the thump, thump, thump at startup the engine turning over that hard? Did you double check your timing marks before and after your work? Have the timing checked.

What causes the bolt for the electrical line on the alternator to catch on fire?
ok i installed a new alternator on march 13th on my 1991 honda civic we just went on a road trip and when i got back i had to change my oxygen sensor due to it failing i change that and start my car up and now on the top of my alternator the bolted electrical line not the plug caught on fire and just immediately starts to glow when the engine is running what could be causing this? how do i fix it?What causes the bolt for the electrical line on the alternator to catch on fire?you've got too much current running through that cable. Sounds like something wasn't grounded properly.What causes the bolt for the electrical line on the alternator to catch on fire?It could be that the bolt is touching a live wire .What causes the bolt for the electrical line on the alternator to catch on fire?When anything electrical catches on fire, it's usually because of a short, or too much current on the wire. Electrical shorts can happen because of many reasons, the most common being damage to the wire's insulation, which allows anything metal to take some of the current from the hot wire.
I'd check the wire, and look for areas that might be shorting out to anything metal, and I'd also check other sections of the alternator for any damage, burn spots, or melted metal/plastic.
Know that if a wire catches on fire, or shorts out, you're probably going to want to replace at least the section that had the problem, otherwise it could easily happen again, since the insulation would be heavily damaged in that area.
Also check your grounding system.

Car battery replaced, but quetsion about alternator?
Hello, I had a car (1999 Camaro) jumped and brought to Menikie. They tested the battery and said it was dead. They replaced the battery and and the car worked.
They checked the battery with some unknown device to me and they said that the stick was moving around back and forth.
they told me this means that the alternator needs to be changed.
-
are they taking me for a ride or are they right. I have a voltmeter on the dash in my car and if that was the same test they used, my stick on the voltmeter does go back and forth a bit, but never in the red zone.
they did say that the cra had 100,000 miles and the alternator needed to go.
so what's the story. How long until drive unitl/or if I have a problem?Car battery replaced, but quetsion about alternator?My best guess from what you said is that one or more of the diodes in your Alternator is blown. Alternators produce alternating current (back and forth), whereas cars use direct current (one direction). Think of alternating current like positive and negative energy. The job of the diodes is to let through the positive energy, but block the negative energy.
You could get it checked for free at Autozone or the like, but from what I've heard,they often don't check for this. To check for this specific thing, all that's needed is an AC (alternating current) Volt-Meter, which is different than the one in your car.
I suggest you ask your friends and neighbors if they know a good local independent mechanic shop, and have them check for that specifically. Shouldn't cost much, and they may waive the testing fee if you have them repair it.Car battery replaced, but quetsion about alternator?Go to Auto Zone, and get another FREE test. This will verify. You probably DO need a new alternator and VOLTAGE REGULATOR. Many times, the battery goes bad from an internal short in the alternator. They sometimes need to be replaced together, or so my local alternator shop tells me.Car battery replaced, but quetsion about alternator?If you have put in a new battery, and the voltage is rising and falling then the alternator is at fault. It needs to be about 14.5 Volts.Car battery replaced, but quetsion about alternator?if the battery keeps going dead then it,s probably the alternator not charging the battery.

How do I change the belts on a 2002 Toyota Sienna V6?
I was expecting to find a single serpentine belt with an automatic tensioner pulley. I have changed serpentine belts on many models with no problem. But this Sienna has two belts, not one. One belt drives the power steering pump. The second belt drives the alternator and A/C. I don't see a tensioner pulley on either belt. Do these belts work like old-fashioned V-belts belts where you tension them by loosening something (like the alternator) and then using a pry bar to tighten the belt? I can barely see the power steering pump so it looks pretty tight, I welcome advice from anybody who knows this model. Thanks.How do I change the belts on a 2002 Toyota Sienna V6?loosen the 14mm bolt on top of alternator. loosen 12mm bolt below alternator sitting sideways. adjust belt tension with 10mm bolt running through previous 12mm.
loosen 12mm bolt on top of power steering pump. underneath vehicle loosen a 12mm bolt below p/s pump pull on belt to relieve tension, and pry carefully to increase tension.
a bit of advice when reinstalling belts, the belt tension has to be just so, too tight and you will wreck the bearings in both pump and alt., too loose and the belts will squeal they have to be just right.lock file getting an error report

How to replace the alternator on a BMW X5?
I have a 2003 BMW X5 and the alternator seems to be the problem. I already changed the battery twice (thinking it was a battery problem), but yesterday, the battery started draining again. Others had told me that it could be the alternator. I've priced the alternators and I would rather do the work myself, but I don't know how difficult this task might be. Any thoughts?How to replace the alternator on a BMW X5?why don't you take it to your bmw service center so they can hook it up to the computer and check where the problem is, and it up to you if you want them to fix the problem or take it somewhere else, atleast you will check out all options before doing anything.
