Q&A

The steering should should not in any way b connected to the brake lights. DO you mean the brake lights at the rear of the van come on when you experience the steering problem or is it the warning lights on the dash come on? If the steering pump is seizing up or failing it may bind up causing a heavy load on the engine that may cause the fan belt to "burn" or "slip" but the load on the engine I guess could cause the engine to stall bringing on the dash warning lights. What ever the issue is it is a safety issue that needs to be looked into. I hope it ends up being something not to serious/expensive.
