Driving home from work today one of my belts snapped. Instantly lost power steering and my alternator and my brake light came on. I pulled off the side and looked and one belt is missing and the other two are off their pulleys. Unfortunately the diagram has worn off over the years and I am not sure how the three go back on. Anyone have a diagram for the 3VZ-E?

each accessory has its own pulley on the balancer. The PS pump and alt belt go around the fan pulley, while the AC belt has its own seperate bracket and pulley.

Just line up the belts, each one can only go to one place.

and as far as I know, there isn't a diagram under the hood anyways, since its self explanitory. Only systems with one serpentine belt need the diagram.

Its on the hood I believe, but you are right, each belt should go to the pulley that it reaches as they are probably slightly different lengths.

Anyone with a truck like that chime in? There are no belty diagrams for the 3VZ on the hood...

No belt diagram on mine, but top pully is 2 groove, bottom is three groove.

TOP
back groove is alternator
front groove PS

Bottom

middle groove is AC.

This is standing in front of truck looking over radiator.

Thanks guys, I figured it out. Now I just gotta go to town and pick up some new belts. I figured now would be a good a time as any to replace them all.

And yeah I noticed that they can pretty much only go where they were meant to. After a few minutes and a bang on the head from Mr. Common Sense it was all crystal.
