Hello,

After running about 15 minutes I noticed the temp guage was at zero. The power steering stopped working. The heater was blowing cold air. The battery light came on.

Any ideas?

Thank You

Hi zoomjim. Welcome to the forum. Have you checked the serpentine belt? All of the things you mentioned have the belt in common. Water pump, power steering pump, and generator are all driven by the belt. If the belt is not broken or fallen off, tug on it, (when the engine is not running) to see if it is loose.
