Squealing serpentine belt! Replaced it, still squeals! PT Cruiser.?

Question 1
Squealing serpentine belt! Replaced it, still squeals! PT Cruiser.?...  The dealership replaced it and 5 months later, the new belt squealed worse than ever. It's been like this for years now, because i'm too cheap to fix it again and obviously, a new belt is not the answer.

It used to happen mainly in cold weather, now it does it all the time.

Is this serious? What's causing it?

Answers
1)   you need a new tensioner...and or a componant, ie alternator, power steering pump, needs to be repositioned and tightened, but my bet lies with a worn tensioner. a inexpansive fix, but your belt may be burned from sliiping a lot and may need to be replaced also. Get a gatorback belt and never worry about it again. - tampabaylive

2)   It could be too loose. If you have an idler arm it could be going out. Some vehicles don't, and you tighten them manually by moving the alternator or power steering pump. - Greg L

3)   Try a belt called gator this belt will make it quiet again,just ask the parts store about it then look at how the groove are made whis is what makes it quiet. - Scott W

4)   Have a good shop check the belt tensioner. This keeps your belt tight. It may need replacing. - C-Tech

5)   Could be power steering fluid. check the level of the power steering and top up if necessary. What year is your car - PT-TA

Question 2
2006 Chrysler 300 won't start and only makes a single click noise?...  2006 Chrysler 300 won't start and makes a single click sound when attempting to start. The stereo works, so the battery isn't dead. Any options or suggestions?

Answers
1)   The battery may still be dead.
It takes a lot more amps to turn the starter than to run the radio.
It is possible that the radio works, but there is not enough juice left to start the car.
That clicking noise tells me that the battery is indeed dead or the starter is gone. - skyking

2)   Open the hood and jump start the car at the post under the red cover. Go to a parts store or shop, have them check the battery. Good luck. - C-Tech

3)   I agree with Skyking. - bw626

4)   battery is dead. even though acc works it takes more energy to turn on a car than a radio. - Accd08
