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...
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.

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.
