I have a 1996 TL 5.0 DHC with 130000miles. It has begun to have a high pitched squeaking noise in the vicinity of the fan belt with a smell of burnt rubber. The belt appears to be in good shape and was recently replaced. There is no appearance of a wobble in the belt orbit.

The noise and the smell are associated with a slipping belt. It needs to be tightened just a bit.
