Hey just wanted to know how to get rid of some annoying squeling noises comming from the fan/drive belts. I've already tightened the tension of the belt it has made it better but its still there!! What can I do to fix the problem. I drive a hyundai sonata 2000. also the battery wire which drives my stereo is not working. How can I fix this, I checked the fuses but I can't find the problem!! The car has done 150000km. Thanks

Either replace the belt or pull it off and check all pulleys by spinning them by hand.

Run a new power wire. :)

Good luck and let us know. :?:

Suggested Repair

Replace the drive belt, or remove it and spin each pulley by hand to check for binding. For the stereo, run a new power wire from the battery.

The expert advises replacing the belt or removing it to hand-check all pulleys, and running a new power wire for the stereo.
