Hi again, i'm totally clueless on what is happening with my car. For the last 4 months everytime it rains my pt cruiser "squeels" it's so weird it's driving me crazy! Would anyone have an idea? Could it ve the belts? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks

Belts are the likely cause. V-belts can wear and become loose. Serpentine belts are usually tightened with a spring-loaded tensioner. Unless it's weak, belt tension is not common, but pulley alignment problems are. The most common alignment issue is a worn pivot in the spring-loaded tesnsioner.

When it's not raining, try sprinkling a little water on the belts while the engine is running. If the squealing starts, you found it.
