How do I thighten the belts to make the noise stop? It only happens On start up or when it is really cold and the heater is on. I assume it is the altinator belt because when I turn the lights on the noise deepens and continues a little longer.
Any thoughts or tutorials I can follow?
I would rough up the alternator pulley with some sand paper so the belt grips it a little better, try that.
When I had that noise in my car, I tried adjusting the alternator's tensioner over and over again, and I first screwed up the water pump than getting rid of the skweeking noise.
The remedy was to put a new belt.

Unless the other two have been changed recently, replace them all.
