Electrical problem
2000 Dodge Caravan Engine Size unknown Two Wheel Drive Automatic 163000 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
When I went to start my van yesterday evening, it started fine, but had no power steering. I tried to drive it home anyway, despite the stupidity of the idea. While on the interstate, my van started to lose electrical power. I pulled over, and it died completely- no lights, no radio, no nothing.

My question is: alternator belt or the battery? I think it could be either.

Could be the alternator not putting out or the battery is not taking the charge-to find out what's wrong get it load tested.
