Best Answer

An old or worn serpentine belt will cause squeaking on startup, particularly on cold days. You may first want ot try a $3 can of "belt dressing". This makes the belt and pulleys stickey and and will resolve most squealing. If it persists or gets worse replace serpentine belt for around $35. You may need a wrench which you can borrow form most parts stores. You should have a small diagram showing the path of the belt under the hood near the front. It the squealing pesists, it might also be caused by failing belt tensioner (one of the pulleys that keeps the belt tight, $50). If it persists, then look for more serious problems such as a failing bearings in ac compressor (strange clanking or clicking even if the ac still works (take it to a pro)) or alternator (usually accompanied by a dead battery or electrical problems (DIY for around $150)), or even a failing clutch in ac compressor or fan (long shot if you ask me)).
