LOSE THE BELT FOR A TEST

FIRE IT UP

DOES IT STILL SQUEAK?

LOOK AT THE CENTER OF YOUR A/C PULLEY, IS IT DRAGGING HERE AND THERE (A/C/ DEFROST OFF)? THE CENTER (THE CLUTCH PART) SHOULD REMAIN STILL 'TILL YOU TURN ON THE A/C OR DEFROST

KEEP US POSTED

If possible, invest in a mechanics stethoscope. You can get them at Harbor Freight for less than $5 I believe.
