96 Mercury Sble Problems

[TEEFREEZY]

MY SEAT BELT LIGHT LIGHTS UP, AND THEN THE LOW COOLANT LIGHT FLICKERS ON AND OFF AND IT SEEMS LIKE MY CAR GOES INTO SOMETHING LIKE A MANUAL MODE BECAUSE MY STEERING WHEEL IS HARD TO TURN. I JUST HAD MY SERPETINE BELT REPLACED. AND THAT DID NOT HELP. WILL SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP. I AM A SINGLE FEMALE AN I CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE THE SHOPS TAKE ADVANTAGE OF MY LACK OF KNOWLEDGE OF CARS.

THANKS
