Drive belt pattern - 2003 Toyota 4Runner

Hi Robert,here's a link on how to replace your belt. Repair Guides Engine Mechanical Components Accessory Drive Belts AutoZone...

an engine /vehicle model with information of power steering and ac fitment would help. Basically the grooves in the belt go into the grooves of the pulley and any idlers run on the back ( flat) part of the belt. If you have grooves in the belt running over a flat idler pulley then the belt is fitted wrong.
