squeaky sound when heater is turned on
Does any one know what causes a squeaky sound when the heater fan is turned on? I have a 2001 auto model, some have said it may be myserpentine belt or tensioner and it does ease if I use belt dressing but only for a short while before it starts again. would appreciate any suggestions on how to fix this.

Its most likely the HVAC Fan Motor. You can remove the motor and lubricate it which usually takes care of the issue. Its in the passengers foot well:
It looks like this,,, minus the mouse nest!
Remove it, lube it and see if that fixes your issue.

Probably your blower motor bearing starting to go. It's located in the passenger footwell under the close-out panel. Pop (pry) the (2) plastic plugs down to remove the close-out panel for acces to the blower motor.
