Screeching noise when I turn on my air conditioner or heater

When I start my car in the morning, it makes a terrible screeching sound. I discovered that the noise only occurs if I have the air conditioner or the heater on. When I shut it off, the noise stops. Or, if I rev up the car a little bit, the noise will stop then.

Is there a belt in there somewhere that needs replaced?

It may just need to be adjusted (it sounds like it's too loose). If the belt isn't cracked or frayed, you should just have it tightened up a bit . If there are signs it is worn (cracked frayed) replace it.

For the screeching noise you need to replace the blower motor and for the blower motor speed you need to replace the blower motor resistor.

2006 Chrysler sebring High Pitch Noise Screeching Sound

The belt is slipping or the compressor and/or clutch is bad.
If the compressor won't turn freely with the engine off, it may be locked up which will make the belt screech.

When turning on the defroster~hearter, a screeching noise comes from the pump, which is my belt making the nosie. It appears the air conditioner side is on also, as it makes the off and on sound when it...

the squeaking is caused by the fan belt becoming glazed over causing it to slip you need to replace it, if not that it can be loose bolts on the pulley system the belt runs through like the water pump, alternator and so on, nothing you spray in the aircon will fix it you need a new belt or tighten some bolts but its most likely the belt
