Starting from the crankshaft pulley and going clockwise looking at the pulleys, the belt goes thus: Ribbed side against the crankshaft pulley, then flat side against the tensioner pulley, ribbed side around the Power Steering pulley. Then the flat side against the idler pulley running ribbed side around the alternator pulley then down to theair con pulley running ribbed side around that and back to the crankshaft pulley.

Can you show me please the tensioner pulley?
The serpentine belt runs from the crankshaft pulley to all the units that need to be turned, alternator, power steering, water pump, etc. There is one pulley that is spring loaded that keeps the correct tension on the belt. That is the tensioner pulley. That can be moved to release the tension on the belt so that the belt can be removed.
How remove alternator on 1996 Grand Am?
Detach all wires. Unbolt alternator. Use a visegrip or the correct sized socket or wrench on the tensioner pully. Relieve the tenson on the belt and slip it off of the alternator. If you can, keep the belt on all of the other pulleys as best as possible. It's a pain to get it back on. Remove alternator, then put everything back together with the new alternator.
How do you loosen the belt on the air conditioner?
Only older V-belts can be loosened. First loosen the lock bolt. Now, turn the tensioner bolt counter clockwise. When proper tension has been reach, re-tighten the lock bolt. On newer cars with an automatic tensioner, the tension will be correct unless the spring in the tensioner is broken. That would cause the belt to be too loose and the tensioner will need to be replaced.

What is code P1682 for Dodge Durango 2000?
The code means "Charging system voltage too low". The PCM (computer) is not seeing the correct voltage from the alternator. Before you start ripping apart the engine to remove the alternator, check the serpentine belt tension. The tensioner pulley spring is prone to rusting and sticking, which causes the belt to slip on the pulleys driving the alternator, water pump, power steering pump etc. If the belt tension seems good (stiff, with very little give) have the alternator checked at the auto parts store (requires removal). If the belt seems loose, squirt some oil onto the spring of the tensioner pulley, and work it back and forth with a 15mm box end wrench attached to the bolt on the front of the pulley. Clockwise will loosen the belt, then release a few times. Squirt the oil (I use motor oil) into the slit on the top of the tensioner assembly, which is located below and to the left of the alternator, just to the right of the ignition coil. Obvoiusly, you should avoid getting oil on the belt. If the spring doesn't loosen, changing out the tensioner is a snap. Good luck!
How do you replace a serpentine belt in a 1999 Chevy Metro?
The alternator is basically the tensioner on a three cylinder Metro. The bolt that holds the alternator tight to its adjustment bracket must be loosened. You may need to pry on the alternator to slide it so the belt will be loose enough to remove. After you have removed the old belt and put the new one in the correct way, the alternator will definitely need to be pried on to tighten belt, then tighten bolt on adjuster. Just be careful what you pry on.

Purchase a belt and the tensioner ( I like the NAPA part for this) Using the correct wrench remove the old tensioner (located below the alternator between the engine and the fender well) Locate and view the diagram near the water pump. Route the new belt as illustrated reinstall the new tensioner. Start the car, run for two minutes. Shutdown and check your work.
