i have a 2000 saturn sl . and the other day when it got really cold for the first time i started my car and it made a squeaky noise, which i know is probably the belt. after that it started smelling like burnt plastic and about five minutes later the squeak stopped. and now for some reason my heat doesn't work. it worked all through the fall, but as soon as it was about 10 degrees it stopped. i put more coolant in it, but didn't help.

Is your engine belt tight?DO your upper and lower radiator hose's both get hot?Also do both of your heater hose's going into your heater core get hot?Does your temp door arm move when you slide your your temp control from cold to hot?
