Ford TaurusAlong the way, Ford has made some 500 changes to the Taurus, changes that were already scheduled for the mid-cycle freshening of the Five Hundred. The general body shape of the new Taurus is the same as that of the previous Five Hundred, a large, front-wheel-drive family sedan, but almost everything else has changed for the better.
Hi, I own a 1996 Ford Taurus and I was wondering if anyone here could help me with this problem im having. I cant figure out how to adjust the belt tensioner on my vehicle... can anyone explain it to me?
Are you talking about the spring loaded serpentine belt tensioner? That's not adjustable.

Sure, look for the square hole in the tensioner arm, insert a breaker bar or ratchet and rotate. That will release the spring tension.
