How do I change the serpintine belt on a 1999 FOrd Windstar LX?
I'm wanting to get a chart of the serpitine belt on my Windstar.

Just look at the belt that's on it, and memorize the routing. Or there should be a sticker that shows the belt routing under the hood. If it's a 3.8, there's a little trick to change it easily, and you do not need any tools. Just do not tell anybody I told you this. If you grab the belt in the center of the long open area between the top pulleys, and pull it forward firmly, it'll loop around the front pulley and you may be able to pop it right off. Once you put the new belt in place, leave it off of the front pulley, and just pull the belt towards you to pop it over the front pulley. I found this by accident once while checking for a stuck tensioner, and changed them this way since on 3.8 Windstars.

You can get a manual on the engine pretty easily, like one of those Haynes ones. Unless you were used to doing lots of work on your car, replacing a belt is pretty intermediate advanced work, and will most likely need a couple special wrenches at least.

there should be a chart of how the belt is routed on radiator support, just follow that and you'll be ok, any more question just pick up a Haynes manual at you local parts store.
