The squeal when you turn on the AC or heater is a loose fan belt. It may be cracked and need replaced, or it may just need tightened.

Begin by loosening the tensioner pulley. Take the old air conditioning drive belt on. Put the new air conditioning drive belt on and tighten the tensioner pulley.
My AC belt busted. My AC has other issues and hasn't been used in years. Will it be fine without the belt though?
I believe the only thing that belt was driving is the AC compressor. Check to make sure that the belt wasn't turning anything else. If all it was driving was the compressor, and you don't need to use the ac, you can drive your car without that belt.
When should you change serpentine belt on vw 2001 passat?
Check the serpentine belt for cracking and "checking" by a close visual examination. Look at the "inside" of the belt where it rides on the pulleys. The grooves should not be cracked, or missing ridges on the inside of the belt. Also, check the idler/tensioner pulley bearing for noise/wear. I changed mine when I replaced the spur ( timing ) drive belt and tensioner/idler pulley/shock absorber at 100,000mi. I also replaced the AC compressor drive belt and idler/tensioner pulley at that time.
Does the 1990 Toyota Corolla ac compressor operate from a separate drive belt or the serpentine belt?

Why is my car making a squealing noise when the AC is turned on?
The squealing noise in your car when the AC is turned on could be due to a worn-out or loose drive belt. The belt may be slipping or not properly tensioned, causing the noise. It is recommended to have a mechanic inspect and possibly replace the drive belt to resolve the issue.
Can you drive a Honda with the ac belt out?
You can drive any car without the a/c belt as long as that belt doesnt route thru the altenator, or the power steering (if you dont care about having to crank the wheel to turn)
