Check your belt tensioner idler pulley, I replaced mine for about $120.00 from a Mitsubishi dealer compared to $170.00 from a Dodge dealer. 1995-2000 Dodge Avengers were made by Mistubishi for Dodge.
A 1995 Geo Prism may experience squealing if the power steering pump is failing or the serpentine belt is loose. Tightening the belt and applying a belt conditioner are the first step to addressing this problem.
A worn belt will cause a squealing noise. The squealing noise is caused when the belt slips. Tightening the belt will temporarily fix the problem.
When they are worn out or causing a problem eg cracked, squealing etc..
There are numerous relays on an Avenger. Please ask a new question about a specific relay/problem.
How do you replace an alternator on 2008 dodge Avenger? My car is making a whining noise and this may be the problem.

I have the same thing on 2000 echo, I was told to put a long screwdriver on the alternator then put my ear to the screwdriver to hear if the squeal is coming from the bearing after verifying the belt wasn't the problem.
Dodge Avenger has a problem with this. You need to take off the oil pan because the oil thicken's in the pan. Clean it and put it back on and this should to the trick.
You might have a belt problem with the alternator, good luck!
don't know what you are working on, but there is a silicon spray for belts its called a silicon belt dressing
I just tried to pull headlights from a 1994 Avenger yesterday. Did you have the same problem as me that the bolts on the inside near the radiator were impossible to get free?
It is probably a linkage problem
