Squeaky Belt??
I have a chirpy/squeaky belt. The steering/driver side alternator was replaced last week at the dealer. Also, been lotsa rain down here lately and some mild flooding.
I think it's the passenger side alternator belt... Are there 2 belts or 3?
Anyhow, what causes this and what's the fix? Just replace the belt?
Thanks,

Re: Squeaky Belt?? (MelloYellow)
It is typically the belt tensioner pulley bearing. Remove the pulley and spray the bearing with lubricant, or for a quick test, just spray into the bearing without removing the pulley and belt. If that works and you don't want to fool with periodic lubes just replace the belt tensioner.
I doubt the belt needs replacing. There are 2 belts, a short one drives the A/C and the main one drives everything else.
