Tighten the belt until you have 1/2" of deflection at midpoint. I hope this helps you. Mark
Should be the tensioner that the Alternator belt goes to
I am having the same problem with a 99 Protege. I have changed the alternator and aligned/cleaned the pulleys and the problem persists.I replaced the alternator, on my 1997 Mazda Protege, seven times before someone figured out why the serpentine belt kept breaking. It was the belt tensioner! It had to be removed and rebuilt. Now it is working like a charm!! And I havn't had to replace the alternator in over 3 months!!!!
the common cause why the light is on is that your alternator is not working well,try to have your alternator checked .may be the carbon brush is already worn out.
Yes it does have ABS. The older Protege 1997 and older dosnt.

It is the center to the right of the engine...
alternators go 'bad' in various ways; bearings = noise diodes = no charge, insufficient charge or discharge. brushes = no charge
Center of the dash board you moron.
