[jerseyboy75]

I have a 96 Infiniti I30, my bose cd/radio all of a sudden stopped working. I replaced the stereo fuse and still nothing... can someone help me out?

There are 3 fuses for the audio system - 2 for the radio-cd player and one for the audio amps. Please refer to page EC-104 of the FSM, linked below:

I have one more question, this is in regards to my AC belt. I replaced my AC belt, a couple weeks ago, and now everytime I start my car, it sqeaks for about 3 minutes and everytime I make a right or left turn, it sqeaks. Why is that? Can you help me out on this problem? What if i spray WD40 on the belt, would that stop the squeak?

I already responded to your other posting. Do not use WD-40 as it will cause the belt to slip (accessory component like AC, alternator, etc may not be driven properly).

Check the belt tension - it may be loose causing the belt to slip and squeal. Adjust tension thru the idler Pulley. The Idler Pulley bearing may be failing if on the other hand you overtightened the belt. Make sure you identify which one is making the noise. Use a mechanic's stethoscope or a long screwdriver (DANGER - do not poke on moving component). A replacement pulley is @ $20.

The belt should not squeal when making turns. It could be the CV (Constant Velocity) joint. also check the condition of the engine mounts.

I'm not sure, but if the serpentine belt also operates the power steering, then it is the belt. It could be just the tension is not right. Always look at the last thing done, if a problem comes up after maintenance.
