Squeaky belt
Ok, so ive had this problem for a while now. When i start my car in the mornings or when i havnt started it in a while the belt will squeal. Lately, it started doing it when the car isnt fully warmed up and i am stopping at aa stop sign or something...also, it will do it when i piut any extra power on the car(turn headlights on, heat,etc.) i sprayed it with the belt dressing stuff, and didnt seem to help. the second i sprayed it actually started squeeking a little in iddle, but stopped a little after...what is it?the belt looks liek its in good condition btw...

Re: Squeaky belt
Loose belt, probably the alt belt since you mentioned it squeaks under electrical load...
there's a 12mm bolt that holds the alternator to the adjustment bracket...stick a pry bar/pipe/bat in between the motor/alt and push towards to the firewall...dont be afraid to give it some muscle. Have somebody tighten the bolt while you push.

Re: Squeaky belt
it sounds like the alternator belt. check and make sure that the pivot bolt on the bottom of the alternator is still there. because i had this problem last week and it turned out that i lost my pivot bolt.
