Originally posted by Ray: because you aren't charging your battery, and you aren't powering your engine with the alt, so it dies while driving. then restart and you get a good connection, etc to the alt and it charges/runs like normal. The engine does not stall or die it keeps running, but what would this have to do with powersteering? I know that might be a dumb question but what would power sterring have to do with eletrical?

When the belt slips it stop charging the altenator, thus the car runs on only the battery. This could be way the oil pressure lights comes on as the car is thinking the key is only on acc. And this would also explain no power steering. The "Bluer Tour" 1998.5 SVTour R.I.P. 2000 ATX Tour SE
