car trouble!
 
Ok guys, I have been having issues with my car not running right. A few of the problems I have been having include: drained batteries, alternator test good and bad on sequential tests, ABS light on, low to no braking while driving :nono2: , little to no power steering until the engine runs for a while, and the battery light is almost always on, sometimes the voltage level on the cluster is on L then goes to H when I drive. Also, the radio, windows, wipers, and instrument lights have trouble operating at times.

I have had the battery tested, charged and changed, the power steering fluid is at max, no OBD codes, new battery cable connections, and all fuses are intact, but I do not know how to check the black relays...I think that is it. Does anyone know what else I should check?

I also found the white plastic piece disconnected by the brake. I tried and tried, but all I could come up with was this to put it back. Is it connected right?

New symptom, from a cold start the pulleys hardly move...at times they even stop turning! After the car warms up everything work fine. WTF is up? Can anyone help?

Sounds like a loose belt. Try to retenision it.

Do your pulleys also turn freely by hand (w/o the belt on)?

No, I noticed that the center of the HB is turning but the outer part is not turning at all. I ordered new pulleys, but would that explain why the battery goes dead and the power steering issue?

Probably since no engine power is getting to the alt and PS pump.
