I have been told twice in the last two months the belt needed replaced. Twice, I paid to have it replaced. Once I was told alternator belt, then told serpentine belt.
Now I am am told the power steering belt with A/C. When I look on the diagram it looks like serpentine is the only belt. Correct?

There are separate belts for both the power steering and the alternator on this car. In the future, it is generally a good idea to replace all of the belts at the same time, so you do not pay for the same labor twice in a short period of time.

And there is a serpentine belt that runs the A/C and water pump.
