My fan belt was quite loose, so i replaced it, tightened the new belt up to about a 1/2" of play. After about 10 minutes of driving the alternator red light popped on, the tach, signals, and gas gauge all stopped working. Stopped the car thinking the belt had fallen off but it is still on with the same tension. Why should I have an issue with the alt after just changing the belt?
