I'm not sure what you're saying. It would squeal sometimes whether the AC is engaged or not.

Are you saying the alternator is bad, or the belt is bad? Or both? I should mention that the guy I previously mentioned claims he replaced the accessory belt and it was still squeal.

I find it interesting the video is called "mystery solved" when he didn't actually solve anything. He just discovered it wouldn't squeal if he started it slowly lol. But it's exactly what's happening to me....
