Many Problems at once with my 2003 Mazda Tribute
 
I had 2003 Mazda Tribute 2.0L 2x4 with 130,000KM. Today I got some weird problem with my car. At the beginning, I notice that the temperature is increasing significantly and battery indicator in odometer is light up. I pull over, wait till the car temperature goes down and fill some water and start the engine again. A minutes later when I'm trying to drive, I feel power steering it's not working, ABS indicator is on, temperature is still reach the red bar, airbag indicator is also on and the horn is not normal, very small sound coming out only.

Does anyone has got similar problem? Please advice if some expert here. Thank you very much before.

With that many problems at once I would think there is a common root. Have the battery and the alternator checked. You could take them out of the car and take them to a good parts store and have them checked. O'Reilly's remanufactured alternators are of better quality than Autozone's. I'd go to O'Reilly's. Actually since your power steeering is not doing well either it could be the serpentine belt slipping.

I found the problem after doing some research with the manuals. When battery charging indicator is on, I need to check the serpentine belt and alternator. I check the serpentine belt and it's cut off. That's why power steering not working and temperature is going high. Thanks anyway...
