Remove the wiring harness from the back of your 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse alternator. Loosen the alternator tensioner bolt. Remove the alternator belt. Remove the alternator retaining bolts. Reverse the process to install the new alternator.

All you do is look for the tension pulley and tighten it, see below

If it has a serpentine belt - should be automatic through the belt tensioner
If you are inside the car, it is on the right side of the steering column, below the column. Feel with your hand as you can not see it sitting inside.
Don't know this cars specifics, but usually, if the alternator light is on in your dash (the battery symbol) it means that your alternator is not charging your battery or that your battery cannot hold a charge.
The dealer service manual says 60,000 miles. But, on the Diamante forum there are cars with 180,000 miles on the original belt. Sounds scary! This is a "interference" engine. This means that if the belt breaks, the valves hit the pistons and cost a lot!!!
