R53 Battery light on, no power steering
Turned the car over this morning and the battery light came on, then I went to turn the wheel and the power steering was out. Later that day sitting in traffic car started to get hot. I noticed the radiator fans were not turning on. However once I started moving again the coolant temp dropped. I know this is an electrical issue. But I replaced the alternator and the battery just over 6 months ago. Anyone have any ideas on the problem at hand?

The PS pump is electric. There is a 100 amp fuse under the fuse box in the engine compartment. Are you able to figure out if you have power to the pump? What year car is it as there was a recall on PS pumps, 02 to a certain month in 05 I believe.
On the fans, there a very long thread in the Gen1 side on the fan resister going bad. The low speed fan will not come on, only the high speed and the AC will not work as without the low speed fan the AC overheats and dumps the freon in the high side. The fans also have relays that could burn out.
