Is it safe to drive a car after its lost electrical power steering?
In short, no. Cars designed to be driven WITH power steering are unsafe to drive when the power steering system has failed. If you've lost steering due to a broken belt, I suppose it might be safer to drive it that way than to park on a busy highway shoulder.
On a 2000 Toyota Echo does the power steering belt control anything else?
No. The main serpentine belt controls the alternator, air conditioner compressor, and water pump, but the other belt only drives power steering. Since power steering is not critical to driving a small car, it's OK to wait until the belt completely wears out before replacing it unless the car is being driven by someone who would panic if they lost power steering.

You may have lost power steering on your 1958 Ford due to a few common issues, such as a leak in the power steering fluid system, a malfunctioning power steering pump, or a broken belt. Additionally, worn-out steering components or a blocked fluid line could also be culprits. It's best to check the fluid level and inspect the system for leaks or damage to identify the exact cause.

Why did the power brakes and steering go out on your 1990 astro?
Two things: 1. Your power steering pump is quite - this will affect your steering (of course) but will effect the brakes too 2. You lost your main belt that operates all the aulterator, steering, cooling system and brakes (the serpantine belt) - if the belt is still on and tight - its number one (I had both happen1)
