Hi,

So it has been raining quite a bit. I have noticed that when I have gone through some deeper puddles/shallow standing water that almost all my dash cluster lights illuminate and I start to lose my power steering. This has happened when I was making a right turn into where I live. Would anyone know what could be causing this?

Thank you

As tardcart said, belt is completely slipping and alternator, power steering, AC, ETC aren't being turned.
Wisdom requires knowledge as a prerequisite, but knowledge can be developed due to a lack of wisdom.
In order to learn how to fix something, you must first learn how to break it.
