need some info I tried a search but could not find a good enough answer.
first. why the hell does my belt squeal so damn bad? it is only when it is cold or the defrost is on. the belt is tight and i have sprayed the stop squeal stuff on it. but still it squeals. just replace the belt, or is it more like maybe the compressor, or a pulley?
second. on my over head console everything works just fine but the outside temp is way off. if I change it over the the metric (or what every it is) then the temp seems right? how do I fix this?
third. in the summer i had to change out my broken battery box so I could pass safety for the NAXA moab trip. the little battery sensor in the bottom of the tray was cut on the new box so i swapped over mine. now in the mornings when it is cold i get the CHECK GAUGES.... everything is reading just normal, but the battery volts are at zero. if i stop and turn the jeep off and back on them everything goes back to normal and light goes off.
bad sensor or what the hell?
thanks!

The temperature sensor could be going bad but I'm not quite sure on those

I would just replace it, but check pulleys ect.

bad sensor or what the hell? I don't see how the battery sensor would know if its not charging. I don't think its the sensor under the battery... May have a charging issue...
thanks!

For the belt i recommend replacing it belts get old and dry up over time. If you think it could be a pully get a long screw driver or pry bar and touch each component alt water pump ac compressor idler pully and listen it should't have and grinding noise.
