Re: 1997 Sable electrical problems

That is a strange one, but it really sounds like maybe the serpenteen belt under the hood broke, would explain the power steering, the other stuff sounds like low battery symptoms (not getting charged because the altenator isn't functioning due to the missing belt) The belt in question drives the power steering, water pump, air conditioning, and altenator. You can live without power steering but not fun. Battery will only go for a few hours without the altenator. The engine will fry in minutes without a water pump.
