    My power steering has stopped and so have the heaters. Fuses are ok so took it down the garage and they said its the alternator that needs replacing as my battery is almost dead.. Is that right can a dead battery stop the power steering from working

    Your car will still start when you've got this problem...if it was me i'd be doing this first before spending any money.

    This has happened on my AX also a few months ago I changed the barrel on mine but that link pretty much sums up what the issue is and a cheap easy way to fix it
