The belt either has lost its tension as a result of ware and tare or, the AC bearings are going bad. I suspect the belt is bad and you will have to change it.
It sounds like you will have to replace the serpentine belt and try autozone.com to see if they have your car listed for diagrams pictures and step by step instructions if your car is not listed then try your local library they have all the car manuals and even copy them for you
IT ALL DEPENDS. SERPENTINE BELT IS SUGGESTED THAT IT BE REPLACE AT 90,000 MILES. READ SOMEWHERES THAT A GUY DID NOT REPLACE IT UNTIL 120,000 MILES. THE BELT TENSIONER HAS BEARINGS ON IT. YOU MIGHT HAVE TO REPLACE THE BELT TENSIONER. YOU DO NOT SAY HOW MANY MILES YOU HAVE ON YOUR VEHICLE. WHEN YOU REPLACE THE BELT, CHECK THE A/C BEARING BY TURNING THE PULLEY. IF IT IS HARD TO TURN, BEARING IS BAD ....SAME THING GOES FOR THE BELT TENSIONER PULLEY.
