The a/c compressor kicks on and off when the heater and the a/c is turned on. Apparently this is a Chrysler design. Even though I don't use the a/c in the winter, I do have to use the heater ! I'm sure the belt still slips but do to the cold it doesn't make the noise. When the switch is in the off position, no belt noise !
I purchased the car with 12,000 miles on it and have done all maintenance.

It has a new Gates belt One common cause would be the belt is worn, glazed or contaminated by oil. If not done recently, suggest you replace the belt with a Gates or similar high quality belt.

I had a 93 3.0 mini van and the belt would scream on occasion and I replaced the tensioner and all was good. Might try that, got a couple
