Possibly if the bearing is bad it will freeze up and stop when the bearing gets hot from friction.
A bad alternator. Turning the steering wheel all the way is very demanding on the power steering which draws power from the engine and can cause the idle to dip down. A weak alternator is usually the cause for the stalling.
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
Yes if that belt is connected from the cam to the alternator
slipping alternator/power steering/ auxillary drive belt
power steering reservoir is located on the back side of the engine. look for the power steering pulley to the left of that. look over the alternator with flash light down to your left the reservoir has fluid written on the top
The power steering reservoir is underneath the alternator by the firewall.
Check that the alternator and the power steering don't work of the same belt.
For most cars there is a separate pulley groove and belt for the alternator and power steering. That way if your alternator belt breaks you could still steer the vehicle.
Whining noises often come from the alternator or the steering pump. Check the power steering fluid in the pump (there is a dipstick on the pump), and have an AVR test done on the alternator. If the alternator is faulty, you are probably having battery problems as well. If the steering pump is low on fluid or is faulty, you probably are experiencing jerky steering from time to time.
no
Below the alternator
Yes. Have had this happen to me. A serpentine belt is what brings power to both your alternator and your power steering pump. If the alternator isn't turned by the belt, it can't produce electricity, and your engine will stop. If the power steering pump isn't turned by the belt, it can't move fluid, and your power steering will quit working (note that you can still steer in an emergency, but it's VERY tough). Hope this helps. NJM
