Alternator

[gordon gecko]

My headlights and my dash lights have suddenly gone out, as well as my power steering, are these the symptoms of a bad alternator

a bad alternator wouldnt let your car start after 2 or 3 times. And your computer should say your charging system is shot, at least, its supposed to say that.

It has start at least ten times, but the battery was just fully charged a week before these symptoms because it wouldn't start. what would make the headlights and dashlights go as well as the power steering??

a dead battery would point toward a bad battery or a failled charging system,

i would also check on the belt that drives the alt and the power steering pump, since the power steering is not electric
