Squeal alternator in 1996 Dodge Grand Caravan?
Very often it is not the alternator, but the belt that squeals. This can be checked by rubbing a little soap on the belt, if the squeal goes away, you know it's the belt. The belt may squeal for a number of reasons: the belt is new, the belt is old, the belt tension is too tight or loose, the belt is cold (the squeal goes away on it's own when it warms up). Some belts just squeal for no discernable reason, but there are 'belt dressing' sprays available for sale that sometimes help. Always check the belt before spending a bunch of money on a new alternator that may not be needed.

It's probably slipping on the pulleys. Belt tension is loose or it may need lubrication (yes belts do need it occasionally) A few drops of dish soap are a good bet or a little motor oil but that may break down the belt in the long run.

Squeaking serpentine belt for a 2000 Jeep Cherokee?
Hi, personally, if it was my car, I would replace the belt. Other options are dish soap like dawn that you can drizzle onto the belt or spray "belt ease" which is an anti-squeal. This product can be found at almost any auto parts store but keep in mind, both of these solutions are temps.
Can bar soap quiet a squeaky belt?
There are many home remedies to quiet a squeaky alternator or power steering belt. But a squeaking belt is usually a sign that should not be ignored. It generally means that... a. The belt is loose & should be tightened b. The belt has aged and hardened and should be replaced or c. Something has gone wrong in the alternator / power steering / whatever and is putting more drag into the system than normal... and should be replaced. So rather than putting soap on the belt (which will make it slip even more in moist weather), i recommend tightening or replacing it & keeping an eye on whatever is being powered by it.

Why is your infiniti g20 making noises?
have you tried rubbing soap on the inside of the fan belt while its running but in park? when fan belts are slipping they will make a squeaking sound because the parts that turn it cannot grip onto it which wears away at the fan belt. rubbing soap on the belt will make it adhere to the gears better which may eliminate the squeak. i have a 1999 g20t and the fan belt was located behind the front passenger wheel well. just touch the soap on the upper side of the belt from there. DO NOT TOUCH THE BELT WITH ANY PART OF YOUR BODY YOU LIKE. ONLY USE THE SOAP.
What causes a car to make a squealing sound above 30 mph when driving?
If it's noise coming from your fan belt, than try this cause BELIEVE me it works!! Doesn't matter if you are a woman either.. cause I am...:-} Turn your car off - make sure it's cooled down Get a standard bar of washing soap (eg. Dove, Irish Spring... doesn't matter) Locate the fan belt Firmly rub soap along the under-side of the fan belt...just a little on one area will do since it will spread when turned on Try driving your car now... did it work? You may have to get the belt checked, but this will take the squeal away for a bit anyway, and it won't hurt the car! If it worked, gimme a trust point! Thanks
