#83526, "What does the top serpentine belt run?"


          

Anyone know what exactly does the power steering belt run (asides form the power steering pump)?. Mine snapped today on the way to work. Luckily it was close to work. I wasn't sure If i could drive it home like that or not since I wasn't sure it ONLY ran the power steering or also the alternator etc... I ended up having someone drive me to an auto parts store and getting the belt and changing it at work with a friend's help, but I'm still wondering. I called a dealer and they had no clue, I called another dealer and they told me the same belt run the water pump (i thought that was the timing belt?)...any truth to this? If it is true then I guess i did good not driving it, but if its only the power steering I could have driven it home.

Power steering and AC. There's another belt that runs the alternator.

Call that fool back up that told you that and inform him that he is ignorant and should not be dispensing information if he is not sure of it.
