What is the squeaky noise coming from the belts on a 1993 Cadillac Seville mean?

The squeaky noise may be the belt itself. Otherwise you may have a bearing going out on your Power Steering pump, or one of the other pulleys. Serpentine belts are not expensive. I would change it/them out first to see if the squeak goes away. If it does not then it sounds like one of your components, power steering, air conditioning compressor, or alternator or air pump may be going out. You can buy a can of belt dressing and spray it on the belt to see if it stops squealing. If it does, then you know the belt is getting bad. The belt dressing is only a band aid. The squeak will return. If you have "belt(s)", then you may want to see if you can take one belt off, run the motor shortly and see if the squeal is still there. If it is, then it's the belt on the engine. If the squeal is gone, you have the culprit in your hand. Do not run the engine long without both belts, just long enough to find out if the belt squeals or not.

1994 prism geo has squeaky noise when you start it up?
You did not define "squeaky" but if there is a shrill noise when you startup or accelerate under engine load then it could be your serpentine belts slipping. Take a look at the 3 belts and see if they are glazed (shiny). If so then it is best to replace them.

How do you lubricate squeaky belts on 2005 Toyota Highlander limited?
Do NOT "lubricate" the belts. It is likely that the belt is old and probably 'glazed' - or one of the components is not properly lined up with the belt - or the tensioner pulley is too weak or not adjusted properly.

What is wrong with my 1988 accord. The belts are squeaky but most of the belts have been replaced and tightened?
If there is any oil, power steering fluid, or antifreeze on your belts it may cause them to slip and squeak regardless of how new and how tight they are. If you have a fluid leak wetting the belts, this leak must be repaired. If the fluid contamination is from any type of oil (including PS fluid) the rubber of the belts may be damaged and the belts will have to be replaced after repairing the leak. Also, you want to be sure that it IS in fact the belts squeaking. Try running the engine with belts removed. It it squeaks without the belts in place, something else is causing the squeak. Also, with the belts removed and the engine stopped, try spinning each pulley (that the belts normally spin) and note any that make noise, feel wobbly, or have a rough (not smooth) feel to the movement.
Can wd-40 be used on squeaky auto belts?
Squeaking belts are the result of improperly adjusted tensioners and pulleys. The belt slides over the pulley and squeaks. Using a lubricant would defeat the purpose. Also I'm not sure what affect wd-40 would have on the material the belts are made of. To get them to stop squeaking tighten them up. Make sure you use your manual and don't get them too tight.
