Go to the dealer Or MAybe Look Under the Hood For Diagram it will be ther

Sounds like the tensioner isn't working. It's easily replaced, but you need a special tool to re install the belt once you have changed tha part

I'm not sure if this is it or not

It is your AC clutch assembly or AC compressor.

turn the engine off and the serpentine belt will stall

remove the old belt. install teh new on in the reverse of how the original was removed.

There should be a belt tensioner.

The air conditioner runs in the winter time when you use the defrost function. This is to dry out the air so that you dont get foggy windows. Dont bypass it.

The diagram is usually on the bottom side of the hood or in fron of the radiator. look at all of the stickers under there.

You should be able to replace the belt and be running again. If you ran the engine for a long time or high RPM without the belt, you may have overheated it and caused additional problems - but you'd probably gotten a high temperature warning light if that were the case. The serpentine belt provides a way to transfer mechanical energy from the engine to the alternator, power steering pump, A/C condenser, smog pump, water pump, etc. Once that belt breaks - all of these devices cease to function (even though the engine is still running) and will cause the engine to stop eventually. If you broke a timing belt - that would be a different story - if the engine is an "interference" or a "zero tolerance" type. The valves inside the engine would be crushed by the pistons immediately - rendering the engine in need of some very expensive repairs or complete replacement. Timing belts generally need to be replaced every 50,000 - 60,000 miles (or 5 years - whichever happens first or as outlined in your owner's manual). Engines with timing chains do not require replacement as a regular maintenance item.Good luck!

have you tried replacing the belt?

Only at the dealer or auto shop that payes for the software program.Call the dealer and ask to talk to a tech i work at a ford dealer or i would look it up

usually it is on the chasis close to the battery.
