Broken Belt and Need HELP please

[kaplianablack]

ok so i broke a belt today, and have no idea what the belt is called. Im still new so please bear with me...I have a 96 eclipse non turbo. The belt that broke is on the left side of the motor down low in the back. I think it might be a radiator belt of some sort. Can anyone help me please. I need what belt it is and how to replace it@!

Thank God it's only an accessory belt. It's either an alternator, air conditoning or power steering belt that you have broken. However, I would change all of them since you are already there. Use Gates belts or a known premium belt.

Good Luck

it's one of two belts alt belt, or your ps belt, if it's wayyyy down on the left near the fire wall it's your altenator belt, and you need to get that changed fast or you will kill your battery, if you look at the pulleys on the left of the motor and you see your power steering pump it's the pulley to the left of the radiator cap and that pulleys missing a belt thats your ps belt just go get that changed. and if your still confused do this drive your car down the street make a turn if it is hard as hell to turn ps is belt came off. if you break down and have no lights it's your alt.

what makes you so sure its not the ac compressor belt? i think it sounds like its the ac compressor, but either way the first answer was correct, replace them all, and you should be able to tell which it is, does your ac work? is it incredibly hard to turn the wheel when the car is stopped? if neither of these cases hold water, then its your alternator belt...

and check you timing belt, because thats probably just as old and likely to break too, and thats a LOT of money....

Radiator belt. Yeah, that's probably it.
