I put on the serpentine on correctly, but I don't know what I'm doing wrong to tighten it. I have the right tools. I just don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Hi,

I attached two pics. The first you can see the routing diagram, and the second is a very vague pic showing how to release the tensioner. The directions are very straight forward. Here they are:

see pic 2

1. Move the auto-tensioner (A) to relieve tension from the drive belt (B), then remove the drive belt.
2. Install the new belt in the reverse order of removal.

Does that help in any way? If not, explain what is happening for you
