The Serpentine belt came off of my 1996 dodge caravan. Belt in one piece and looks good. I am looking for a diagram of the belt routing and any installation tips.

A belt routing diagram is often glued to the underside of the hood or elsewhere within the engine compartment. The owner’s manual would also be a good place to look. I suspect a problem with the tensioner or some other pulley if the belt came off. Something may need to be replaced.
