- 1998 explorer
Hi, My name is Bob from Fresno, ca. I have a couple ??? if I may, I have 1998 V6 explorer. when I start the engine I hear a loud squeahling sound....kinda like a loose belt. I really dont think it that though. after an few seconds the noise goes away but......if I turn on the headlights it comes back and then needle on the batt gauge goes way down? turn them off it goes back up and the noise stops? Also cannot run the heater cause hear comes the noise? I am thinking it may be the Alt? could that be? or do u think it is the belt or belt tension pulley? I am confused....sorry.
any thoughts other than driving the car off a bridge would be greatly appreciated.....Thanks and all the best, Bob
