so i was just driving to wendy's, midway there all of a sudden my parking brake light and battery light come on... and so does this orange light to the right of the speedometer, it looks like a carousel (i know, i know). I also lost power steering... the car was running fine, i turned it off and started it back up a few times after that but still had the same problems, it drove fine... just no power steering. any ideas??
 
let me get to you before Defiant does:D that carousel you are looking at is your coolant level MIL. As far as the loss of pressure on power steering, check the - Fluid level, Belt, and check for leaks at the rack and pump.
 
Sounds like you lost your main belts that power all your accessories, like your p/s, alternator, a/c, and water pump. Check those out and see if thats the problem.

I bet your right sounds like a belt took a dump
