The 8th digit of your car's VIN (vehicle identification number) tells you the engine
type for your car - your choices for Ford Taurus are U (3.0L), and S (3.0L).
I've included the Ford SHO engine too.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

  1. Attach a 15mm socket or wrench to the bolt attaching the tensioner pulley.
  2. On all 3.0L (OHV) engines, rotate the drive belt tensioner clockwise to relieve belt tension and slide the belt off the pulleys.
  3. On 3.0L (DOHC) engines, rotate the tensioner counterclockwise to relieve belt tension and slide the belt off the pulleys.


To install:
  1. Install the drive belt on all the pulleys except the tensioner pulley.
  2. Rotate the belt tensioner as outlined in the removal procedure to relieve belt tension and install the belt onto the tensioner pulley. Make sure the V-grooves make proper contact with the pulleys. Make sure the spring keeper releases or improper belt tension will occur.
Tip: you may want to get (free) a serpentine belt installation tool kit to help with this job.
Both Advance Auto Parts and AutoZone wisely have loan-a-tool programs that permit you
to borrow (for a deposit) their serpentine belt installation kits - which allow their
handy customers to use their auto parts rather than towing it to a garage.

Belt routing diagram for 2004 ford taurus i am stuck sitting along the interstate have new belt cant get it on

You need to relieve the tension on the tensioner pulley with a 3/8 inch or a 1/2 inch drive with a ratchet as you put the new belt on. It is too difficult to describe in words how the belt goes on. Use the following diagram to help you, the link is: http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.readmanual.com/forum/images/im.1.1273955811.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.readmanual.com/forum/cars/Ford-forums-all-models/Serpentine-belt-on-a-2004-ford-taurus/&usg=__pNxVHcVlOwx8shXvEqHunxPgb8s=&h=356&w=600&sz=22&hl=en&start=0&zoom=1&tbnid=wlBhPo6sWzd39M:&tbnh=100&tbnw=168&prev=/images%3Fq%3D2004%2Bford%2Btaurus%2Bbelt%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26biw%3D1436%26bih%3D892%26tbs%3Disch:1&um=1&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=729&vpy=202&dur=4532&hovh=173&hovw=292&tx=163&ty=92&ei=AKuyTL-EG4ygsQOyh5HtCw&oei=AKuyTL-EG4ygsQOyh5HtCw&esq=1&page=1&ndsp=24&ved=1t:429,r:3,s:0
