Squeaking while AC running?

I'm thinking the AC clutch. Any other ideas. Only does it while AC is on, vent & heat are quiet.

Mine was noisy too - I was also thinking clutch - I replaced the belt and it went away! - very odd.

agelder: I have a squeek as well when a/c is on I think if you turn off both fans you will see the squeek disappear as on my a/c. I think it is the added load on the alt. that causes squeek ( this would mean the alt bearings) . A good chk is to look at amp guage when it's squeeking and you will see a heavy load on alt. When you shut fans off, the amp guage goes into the normal range and squeek disapears.

the added load is from the a/c compresser turning . check the belt and tensioner.
