the buttons and horn and stuff on the steering wheel slide on electrical contact strips behind the wheel... theres a coat of lube on this that can wash off with time and lots of Amor All down behind the steering wheel.. A little WD-40 sprayed into the switches and behind the wheel will probably fix this... Good luck.. also read the section on replacing the Horn Ring in a manual to get a picture in your head.. Everyone should have a manual for their vehicle, and the local library should have a professional shop manual available to make copies of for FREE...make the time to take time to read up on your vehicle, and work like the PRO'S! Good luck :) Dave Check the serpentine belt tension.

The most common cause for a squeaking noise when turning the steering wheel on any vehicle, including a 2001 Toyota Avalon, is the belt that runs the power steering pump. If the belt is fairly new, a small drop of any dish soap on the belt while the car is running will clear up the noise. If the belt is worn, it needs to be replaced.

Any bushing, if its worn or old enough, causes suspension squeaking at low speeds and when going over bumps. The typical cause of squeaking noises when turning the steering wheel is low power steering fluid. The power steering fluid reservoir should be checked and the fluid topped off if it is low. Fill your reservoir with manufacturer-specified fluid (or have your oil-change service station do it). With a very low fluid level, the whining sound will be accompanied by a difficulty in turning the wheel.
