Seized accessory?

Past 2 days car has been making a squealing noise coming from the engine compartment. On again off again noises. So I changed my belt tensioner, nothing changed. Driving home from work, then straight, solid squealing. Stopped, checked it out, belt was busted. How do you know which accessory is seized? It's a serpentine set up TPI. I did noticed at one moment to start it, it did not want to. Acted week, heard some squealing. The car will crank up.

Re: Seized accessory?

Spin each by hand, if it's near locked up it should make a lot of noise or not free wheel very well. Also, just wiggle each pulley to make sure they don't have side to side or up/down movements.
