Sounds like something on the serpentine belt side like a idler pulley. The steering pump is electrically driven and would be a more sustained pitch wine. That sound is more like a wobbly dry bearing like a idler pulley, AC compressor or even the alternator pulley.

I would turn off the AC and observe and then turn AC back on and observe again. If no change, I would take the serpentine belt off and briefly start and run and see if the sound goes away. If it does, you know it is on the belt side and looking at idler pulleys or the alternator clutch pulley.

Edit: - you can also check the alternator clutch pulley and observe for any grease coming out of the sealed bearing.

Are you still under warranty? If so, I would let the dealership make the call on their dime

I’ve replaced the belt and all idler pulleys and tensioner pulley squeal came back I dropped it off at the dealership and they tried to tell me it’s the power steering pump today I sent them this exact video and told them to have someone else check it out. Bc I’m pretty sure it’s not the power steering pump either

Could pull the F34 fuse for the steering pump control and see if it goes away.

Thanks for that idea I’ll have to give that a try if the dealership can’t figure it out

I had a similar squealing noise a couple years ago. I thought it was a pulley but wasn't sure. I let my friends at 2 Fat Guys offroad in Boerne, TX listen to it and they confirmed it was probably the pulley. I let it go for awhile until I had to change the belt. And I decided to replace both pulleys since I didn't know which one it was. Turns out that was what the squealing noise was.

And Im the idiot that changed the belt and didn't change the pulley's and cross my fingers haven't had an issue although they were checked for smoothness. Its another one of those could go any moment deals ya know

I have a 2023 Glad. Willys sport S and I'm currently having the same problem, it comes and goes, took it to the dealership, their Autozone parking lot mechanics couldn't figure it, apparently they said they didn't hear any noise at the time.

I’m dealing with that right now apparently they can’t replicate it but for 3 days ina row it made the noise and all of a sudden it stops at the dealership
