Before you change the belt, check for the charging rate, something could be overloading the belt.

2003 Kia Rio new fan belts squeal when lights,heat, or radio are turned on, especially when car is cold. caused a fuse to blow last winter

Hey Anon, Are you SURE you got the correct belt?? Something does not sound right about this...???... Double check all the pulleys when the belts are off...the alternator should spin freely, all the the idler pulleys should spin free..(ones that just spin and guide but are NOT connected to anything)!! This very thing happened to me...it was a $12 idler pulley that did nothing but spun and guided the belt..

My 2001 suzuki grand vitara xl-7 power steering went out yesterday. a belt started sqeeling and then i smelt burnt rubber.

Firstly, check all the bearings that the belt rolls over to make sure that none have seized. If all are free, then your P/S belt may have been loose, and the load when the steering was used was more than the belt could transmit, so it started slipping. Get a new belt fitted and tensioned correctly. From memory, this belt also does the A/C, so maybe try turning that off to reduce the load on the belt until you can get it fixed.
