So I have occasionally been noticing a horrible squealing noise from the belts and I have been spraying down the belts with some "belt dressing" is seemed to work but it just kept coming back. Well today I realized that is only makes the noise when the A/C is on. Now that I have it narrowed down a little bit, I am trying to get this thing fixed. Does anybody have an idea of how to fix it.

Try adjusting the A/C belt tension. If that doesn't help, then replace the belt.

inspect the ac belt. not too loose or tight or old.if not. your ac compressor is about going bad.

Thanks for the info guys, especially the diagram. I really appreciate it.

So after checking the belt is seems to be in good condition and is not loose. Now what?

I would say to get a new belt. Your old one is more than likely wore out. A new belt only costs about 10 bucks so it wouldnt hurt to replace it anyway.

You may have a bad bearing or clutch mechanism in the A/C compressor. Remove the belt and test for excessive free play as well as difficult turning and noise when attempting to rotate the A/C compressor pulley.

Yeah I will swap out the belt and take a look at the compressor.
