Well, first of all try tightening the belt. A few common hand tools should do the trick, metric of course. Most likely your car has a single belt running many accessories and over time it has stretched and worn. If that doesn't cure it replace the belt. A little more complicated but there should be a belt routing diagram somewhere under the hood to help with this task. While you have the belt off spin the alternator by turning it's pulley. It should spin freely with little or no noise. If it is hard to spin or makes a grinding noise have someone replace the alternator. Don't fall for the spray on belt dressings that say they stop squealing belts. All they do is gum up the works and make a mess. Also while you have the belt off try spinning anything else the belt drives to make sure it's not something else causing the squeal...... Hope this helps! '06 Mazda 3 Zoom Zoom

Use the properly suited exchange belt. do not over tighten the belt, you may desire to able to press down for a million/4 inch between the pulley. verify out each and every pulley for sharp edges, which will decrease the facet of the belt to that end weakened the belt. verify out the stress pulley and the alternator pulley are in-lined, so as that the belt is working at once.

Get a new alternator or get the alternator rebuilt. Or eventually your alternator will burn out and then youll be screwed.
