When I turn on my air conditioner, the serpentine belt squeaks and my amp guage goes down. I went to Auto Parts Store and checked alternator and they said it was good. They also checked the battery and it was good. I went against their judgement and replaced the alternator. It still squeaks and the guage goes down. I changed the serpentine belt, same results. I cleaned all my grounds, same results. It only happens when I turn the air conditioner on. Any ideas?

I'd check the A/C compressor, could be ceasing or drawing too much power...
