    Some kind of belt

    Okay so today as I was getting out of the parking lot and turning left my brake light and battery light came on, also my steering wheel got stiff as I lose the power steering but the car still runs battery still works still able to turn but without the powersteering and one of the belts snapped the one that connects to the polley for the power steering and the timing belt does not spin. what should I do?

    There are 3 belts.

    1. AC belt. Connects the AC pulley tot he crank pulley.
    2. Alternator/Waterpump belt. Connects the Crank, alternator, and waterpump pulleys.
    3. Power steering belt. Connects the power steering pulley to the waterpump pulley.

    Look to see which you are missing. Sounds like the alternator belt went out which will cause the power steering not to work since it drives the waterpump pulley. Which if thats the case, then the waterpump will not turn and your car will overheat. I would not recommend driving the car very far.
