Someone that knows their Jeeps please help me!

I just bought a 2001 Jeep Cherokee Sport
4X4. Everytime I turn on the air the belts make this high squeeeeeel that is driving me crazy! but everytime I take to it the place I bought it (I have had it less than a month) it never does it for them and I think now they are thinking I am crazy. Any suggestions? Is the air conditioner dripping on the belts maybe???? I have no idea.

Thanks!!!

Check the belt for cracking or glazing. If it is cracked or looks shiny it is most likely due for a replacement.

 

yes id check the belts and idler /tensioner pulley as well just to be on the safe side to see any of the bearings are bad.when i had this problem i checked the belt but didnt find any wear marks on it but since i had one around i replaced it and its bin about 3 months now havnt made a single belt noise at all .hope this helps

 

I had the same problem, your Belt could be a little loose. I tightened my tensioner just a few turns and my squeel is gone.

 

The serpentine belt is either loose or it needs replacement.

If the belt is older, get it out of there and replace it with a Goodyear Gatorback belt. Best replacement option; they stretch very little and stay quieter than some other el-cheapo replacement belts.

 

Thank you all for the suggestions. One of you all were right. The belt just needed to be tightened. I took it by "Just Jeeps" and thats all they had to do. Haven't heard the annoying squeeeeeel all day! Thanks All!
