The belt that drives the alt and p/s is loose. If it is a serpentine belt, check the tensioner or replace the belt.
Clean them and see.
The wheel tilt, or tilt steering mechanism, on a 1997 Mercury Villager is located on the steering column. To adjust it, look for a lever or a knob typically found under the steering wheel. This lever allows you to tilt the steering wheel up or down for a more comfortable driving position. If you have trouble finding it, consult the vehicle's user manual for specific instructions.
i wish there was an answer here. this just has happened to me on my 2001 dodge neon. while i was driving the battery light flicked on and at the same time my power steering locked making it difficult to turn... i dont know what to do im still researching for answers.
Did you check the drive belt to see if it broke?
Steering fluid leak.
A car's steering wheel will vibrate when driving if the car's alignment needs to be adjusted.
If the steering wheel is loose while driving the steering rack may be going bad. A bad steering rack leads to a lot of play on the actual wheel.

To change the steering wheel on an Acura, first disconnect the battery to prevent airbag deployment. Remove the airbag by carefully prying off the clips or screws at the back of the steering wheel, then disconnect the airbag connector. Next, use a steering wheel puller to remove the old wheel by loosening the central bolt, and then align and attach the new steering wheel in the reverse order, ensuring all connections are secure. Finally, reconnect the battery and test the airbag system before driving.
I had a 1999 Grand AM same thing happened to me. A while after that i was driving and the radio lost power, then the power steering. I had the alternator and battey replaced and that fixed the problem.
No. Steering is just one element of driving, but there are a lot more, such as controlling the speed and being vigilant as you drive.
Because its used for primarily turns and it requires power, so on long straight aways it cuts off to save battery life.
