I was driving to worcester today when my car because accelerating roughly. I payed no attention and continued on my way. Soon, the power to radio cut out and the power steering was non-existant. I pulled to the side of the road and waited for help. We discovered that it was the serpentine fan belt and we purchased a new one. It had snapped. Anyone have any clue on how to put one on?

Also, since i bought the car, while accelerating, the car made a clicking/whirring noise and without the fan belt it's gone. Is there any chance that was a warning sign?
