If the belt squeaks, either the belt is loose or something else is sticking. Your problem is not the belt but something else. The squeak could be a water pump about to break. Since your typing did not describe just the way it is squeaking, I can not tell exactly what is causing the problem.

Why is your alternator belt continuing to break and snap on your 97 Mazda Protege?
I am having the same problem with a 99 Protege. I have changed the alternator and aligned/cleaned the pulleys and the problem persists.I replaced the alternator, on my 1997 Mazda Protege, seven times before someone figured out why the serpentine belt kept breaking. It was the belt tensioner! It had to be removed and rebuilt. Now it is working like a charm!! And I havn't had to replace the alternator in over 3 months!!!!
