Check your fan/accessory/serpentine belt.
You are having fan belt problems.
Alternator Belt has snapped, causing you alternator to stop charging causing you battery light to come on, but this belt also runs your power steering pump which if that's not working your steering will become heavy
alternater may be going out it may only have mints to live it happened to my f150
No. If the alternator is working fine, the battery power is not used.
why is my escort so light on the power steering
Check the fluid level in your power steering reservoir. The ESP light is on because there is a problem with the stability system. They have nothing in common.
Could be a slipping or broken belt.
Check to make sure the serpentine belt is still in place.
The power steering of Mercedes A Class can be reset by switching off the engine and starting the car again. The power steering fault is quite common in Mercedes A Class and this is either power steering intermittently working, not working at all or operating all the time even when engine is OFF. The last catagory drains the battery. if the power steeering does not work at all then you there may be blown fuse Number 48/49 under the driver foot in the battery compartment. Or it could be due to correded/ broken conections under the washer resevoir or fault in the alternator not producing enough power in the blue wire which enable the power steering. Merc doctor
Because you left the door open while you were working on the power window problem, and the interior light ran the battery down.
The power steering is electric.....a motor runs it.
no because power steering is a hydrollic assist system
