Did it break or just come off?
If it just came off, it's easy to fix. You should see a bolt that hold down a pulley-type wheel around which the belt turns. Thus pulley wheel sits is a slot. The slot is so that the position of the wheel can be adjusted.
You can loosen this bolt to move the wheel so that you can first put the belt back into place. Then move the wheel to tighten up tension on the belt so it doesn't come off again. Finally, tighten up the bolt. It's easy.
If the belt actually broke, buy a new one, and then do the steps above to install it.

Well it came off, but it doesn't make sense because they aren't supposed to come off with Explorers unless they break. So it must be broken."Yay Apoc!!!!!!!" - bipolarbear

replacing a fan belt is a 10-15 minute job. getting to a position where you are able to do this, on the other hand..."The Christian way has not been tried and found wanting, it has been found to be hard and left untried" - GK Chesterton.

If you notice that each of the wheels it runs around have a ridge on each side to keep it in its grove. If the tension isn't enuf, then the belt can run up over that ridge and jump the track.

I really hates you.
I hope you're not trying to salvage the damaged belt. Cut the thing off and replace it with a new belt already.The cake is NOT a lie. It's so delicious and moist.

You really shouldn't waste a call to AAA. If I'm not mistaken, you're only allowed a few service calls (2?) in a one year period. Better to save them for when you ACTUALLY need them. Changing your belt is one of the easier things to do sans mechanic, like changing your tires.
Just checked their website. For the California region (in which Nevada is included) it looks like you get 4 calls before they start getting pissy. They'll cancel you after 7 in a one year period or after 12 in a 2 year period. That's crap.
Apoc, just get a buddy to help you, preferably one who knows more than you do about maintaining a vehicle.The cake is NOT a lie. It's so delicious and moist.
