The auto tensioner for the serpentine belt on a 2011 Mazda is typically located near the front of the engine, usually on the passenger side. It is a small, spring-loaded pulley that applies tension to the serpentine belt. To remove the belt, you'll need to use a wrench or ratchet to rotate the tensioner away from the belt, allowing you to slip the belt off the pulleys. Always refer to the specific vehicle service manual for detailed instructions and diagrams.

Why would a brand new Serpentine belt brake on your 2002 Mazda Protege you just had both of them replaced less than 2 months ago.?

One of the components driven by the belt or the tensioner has bearings that are going bad or the unit itself like alternator, power steering pump, or water pump are going bad. If it has a manual tensioner it is possible that it was overtightened as well.
