Eclipse power steering

PS belt (and AC? and GEN?) ALL 3 are now dead:
the water pump has its own cog belt too (aka serp)??????
USA CAR? or NOT, cars are not the same all over earth you posted to a public world wide forum and no country told at all,
with AC or no AC (cooling) >???>??????
do not drive any car if the water pump belt slips off , snaps or is missing or train wreck the engine you will . but yours is pump cog belt no
the car many have map sticker on the front of the car hood up
did you look first.
answers me are USA only,
we have 3 version of the 2.0 and only version A,M,D not T
so you not here? all 3 our ours have 3 belt types.
I thinks you are confused, and the missing belt runs many thing
GEN-G
PS ?
AC compressor.
E = engine crank pulley
here is ours 2.0L M
there is no PS pump this PS is electric motor drive
Electromechanical power steering motor!







I will not cover the waterpumps, some have 2. even. cool down pumps., I will skip WP(and has its own belt)

check electrical connections

First you need to find the source that is causing noise. On cold weather is very normal engine belts or belts idle pulley bearings or belt tension-er to make noise, especially when they are old. Also power steering pump too especially if the oil is very old.

307's have a unusual routing, it's easy to get confused.

From back to front:
1) Crank - Water Pump - Air Conditioning
2) Crank - Power Steering - Water Pump
3) There are two versions, depending on how many grooves the power steering pump has:
(1-groove P/S):Water Pump - Alternator
(2-groove P/S):Crank - Power steering - Alternator - Water pump
4) Crank - Air Pump

From engine first belt is alinternator/water pump belt.
Secound belt is A/C belt and tensioner.
Third belt is power steering belt to crank

Removal

1. Disconnect the power steering return hose (3A713) at the pump and drain fluid.
   

1. Remove the power steering pressure hose (3A719) by unscrewing connector from the pump.

On Ranger 3.0L V-6 engines, slacken belt tension by lifting drive belt tensioner in a clockwise direction. Remove drive belt (8620) from under drive belt tensioner and slowly lower pulley to stop. Remove the drive belt from the power steering pump pulley (3A733).

1. NOTE: If the drive belt requires servicing, refer to Section 03-05 .
   
   Remove the drive belt from the power steering pump pulley.
   

1. Remove the oil dipstick tube.
   

1. Remove the power steering pump support (3C511).
   

1. Install Steering Pump Pulley Remover T69L-10300-B on the pulley.
   

1. NOTE: Do not apply pressure on the power steering pump rotor shaft (3B559). Pressure will damage internal thrust areas of the power steering pump (3A674).
   
   While holding the remover tool nut stationary with a wrench, rotate the inner spindle of the remover tool clockwise until the pulley is pulled off the power steering pump rotor shaft.
   

1. Remove the bolts attaching the power steering pump to the A/C compressor mounting bracket (2882).
   

Installation

1. Install the power steering pump on the A/C compressor mounting bracket. Install and tighten attaching bolts to 41-61 Nm (30-45 lb-ft). On 4.0L engine, tighten to 47-64 Nm (35-47 lb-ft).
   

1. Position the support on the A/C compressor mounting bracket. Install mounting bolts and tighten to 47-64 Nm (35-47 lb-ft).
   

1. NOTE: Fore/aft location of power steering pump pulley on power steering pump rotor shaft is critical. Incorrect belt alignment may cause drive belt squeal or chirp. Make sure pull-off groove on power steering pump pulley is facing front and flush with end of shaft ± 0.254mm (± 0.010 inch).
   
   Install the Steering Pump Pulley Replacer T65P-3A733-C and install the power steering pump pulley.
   

1. Install the drive belt on the power steering pump pulley.
   

1. On the 2.3L I-4, Ranger 3.0L V-6, and 4.0L V-6 engines, position and rotate drive belt on engine. While lifting drive belt tensioner in a counterclockwise direction (clockwise on Ranger 3.0L V-6), slide drive belt under drive belt tensioner and lower drive belt tensioner to drive belt.
   On Aerostar 3.0L V-6 engine, position the belt idler pulley (8678) assembly to give the drive belt the tension specified. Refer to belt tension check in Section 03-05 . Tighten the drive belt tensioner and adjustment bolts to 47-64 Nm (35-47 lb-ft).
   

1. Install the power steering pump support, if removed.
   

1. Install the oil dipstick tube.
   

1. Install the pressure hose tube nut and new Teflon® wagner into power steering pump valve outlet fitting (3D654) and tighten to 41-54 Nm (30-40 lb-ft).
   

1. Connect the power steering return hose to the power steering pump, and reposition the clamp.
   

1. Fill the power steering oil reservoir (3A697) with Premium Power Steering Fluid E6AZ-19582-AA or equivalent fluid meeting specification ESW-M2C33-F. Start the engine and turn the steering wheel (3600) from left to right without hitting stops to remove air from the system.
   

1. Check for leaks and recheck the fluid level. Add fluid if necessary to proper level as specified in Section 11-00 .

if i remember right those belts are not together cuz your car has two belts on it one that goes from the crank pullel that runs the a/c and alt and then one thats from the crank to the power steering

low power steering fluid/ bad power steering pump

1.Most likely alternator belt is not tight enough or need new one.2. A/C-Power steering belt is loose or need new one. 3. Bearing in A/C-Power Steering Tensioner is going bad. 4. Not the water pump unless you are loosing water all the time. Timing belt runs the water pump & you need to tear down the engine. If so ,you would need to replace the timingbelt,tensioners, and maybe the hydraulic tensioner. NOT FOR $300, more like 5-600. Get yourself a Haynes Manual for 95-99 Eclipse at AUTOZONE,Advanced Auto, or Pep Boys and read up on this.

You will have to remove the stock steering wheel, equipped with an airbag.
