My Civic's serpentine belt quit spinning today. The battery light came on and the power steering quit working. The belt is not broken, so what could be causing this? I cant figure out whether I need a new alternator or power steering pump or what. I am sure the water pump and the oil pump did not quit because I didnt overheat or lose oil pressure....What do I do???

hmmmm. if that is a single belt engine it most likely has a tensioner pully. I would check to make sure the belt didn't slip off or that the tensioner is not broken.
