Air Conditioning Squeel

kenc195 · 04-03-2006, 05:03 PM

1997 Passport, 165,000 miles. Recently when starting cold I have had a 2-3 second squeel from under the hood. I inspected the belts which were worn and replaced them all. Problem continued

Started getting hot here in Phoenix and turned on the AC which prompted a 2-3 second squeel. Each time the compressor cycles I have a squeel.

Should I suspect the AC clutch? and how hard is DIY replacement?

I would suspect the alternator belt is loose.

Just felt the belt and it probably could be tighter. Will adjust it and let you know
