It is possible,and most likely the belt had been slipping,and the alternator was not charging the battery back up as the engine was running,so charge the battery,and replace the belt,and for sure check all pulleys to see that none of them are locked up.If his was at all helpful,please rate,thank you.

Where is the fuel pump relays locateded in. A 2008mitsubishi endeavor

https://www.justanswer.com/mitsubishi/8bp9q-mitsubishi-2008-mitsubishi-endeavor-won-t-start.html
This link may help .... shows both fuel relays in the passenger compartment, with driver door open ... the panel should be at the end of the driver side dashboard.
This link also goes over a bunch of issues that the owner had with his car not starting ... which may be why you are looking for the relays also.
Anyway...good luck with your troubleshooting

I over heated,the serpentine belt snapped. Opened the hood to find steam rapidly coming out of both the antifreeze and out of the engine right by the head gasket. It wasn't smoke not blue or black jus

Perform a compression test on your cylinders. One unfortunate result of overheating is the blown head gasket. Without compression your motor will not run. Tester are not super expensive or some stores will lend tools.

How do I open the hood of a Mitsubishi L300 ?

  1. Locate the interior hood-release lever under the dashboard on the driver's side of the interior of the car.

  2. 2

    Lift up and toward you on the hood release lever. The lever is connected to a cable that releases the hood. The hood will pop up about 1/2 inch when you pull the lever.

  3. 3

    Move to the front of the car and locate the exterior hood-release lever under the front of the hood. It is located near the middle of the vehicle, just beyond where the front edge of the hood meets the body. Lift up on the inner lever.

  4. 4

    Lift up on the edge of the hood while holding the inner lever in place. When the hood is up, find the hood prop and raise it, setting its tip in the hood-prop mount on the hood, to hold the hood up while you work in the engine bay.

Truck f150 2003 5.4L turns but doesnt start....

sounds like the belt broke before you got home and it ripped the wires out of the crank sensor.
I would think the crank sensor is damaged and will need to be replaced.
won't start with a good one.

Mitsubishi endeavor, how to unlock hood, we took out the battery en it locked down we can not open it

The hood release is cable operated, just reach under the dash and pull the hood lever.

If it is not releasing by the lever, you likely have something jammed into the latch and will have to pry it free.

Again, the hood release is not electric.

Broken alternator belt

What's the difference between 'CRANKS" or 'TURN OVER'? Do you MEAN the engine cranks (turns over) but WONT start? If this is the problem, then there are NUMEROUS possible causes (i.e., fuel pressure (fuel pump) Bad Gas/Petrol, Ignition, Air Flow, Cylinder Compression, Crank Position Sensor, vacuum leaks, Nut behind the steering wheel, ECM, etc. An alternator belt would not cause the problem you describe. Take the vehicle back to the mechanic you replaced the belt and tell him to fix it!

2000 Diamante, Timing Belt ? Loud pop, explosion, bang...

sounds like the belt tensioner. look for any drive pulley that doesn't actually drive anything but is turned by the belt... that is spring loaded and keeps tension on the belt... if it moves freely... it needs to be replaced.
