When I first turn on my A/C it makes this awful squealing noise, especially at low speeds. The noise goes away after about 30sec or when I turn the A/C off. I know I've heard this on other cars, just never mine. My first thought is a loose belt or the blower motor isn't bolted on tight enough. Any thoughts??

Thanks

By the way this was really difficult to search for both on here and on google..... or I'm retarded. )

 

just tighten the a/c belt, mine wa sdoing that last week, i didnt have the extention so i had to listen to it for a whole two weeks,
get right behinf the right front tire and losen the belt tentioner pulley ( dont losen it too much, just half a turn or so) then tighten the belt tentioner from above, tighten it up and then get back under and tighten the pulley back........ u dont even have to lift the car, i done it in less than 5 minutees...

 

mine also does this but when I turn off the A/C as its squealing the sound stops. And it also happens in the rain a lit some belt. Any suggestions?

 

hopefully its not your A/C compressor..something like that happened to me.. might be the belt tensioner, cause that's what happened to my friend. but im just listing from experience. gl w/ the problem.

oh yeah a/c compressor was 575$ for me. brand new with installation.. even after the replacement i have to warm up the car for the sound to go away..

 

its your alternator im having the same issues with the squealing and i pin pointed it to be the alternator
