Are you sure the drive belt is still on the engine ? The battery light usually comes on when the alternator is not charging the battery, and the power steering is also belt driven. The brake warning light can come on when the brake fluid is low, but also when the battery light comes on.
If the power steering pump is low on fluid, The belt is broke or came off, or the pump just stopped working, it would cause those symptoms.
First check the belt.
If the belt is there, check the fluid level in the pump, if its low add some PSF and check again.
if the fluid level is up to factory standards and you have went through this check list,
the pump is bad.
Check for low power steering fluid, a broken belt (there is a belt that connects the engine's main drive pulley to the power steering, alternator, air conditioning, etc. pulleys) or your power steering pump went bad and will need to be replaced.
Check to see if the power steering fluid reservoir has the proper amount of fluid. If the fluid is low you will hear a noise from under the hood and the steering will become harder. Look under the front of the car for oil leaks. The other thing is the belt may be broken or come off the pulley. Normally this belt is used for more than one item such as the alternator, engine water cooling pump or air conditioner compressor. If this is the case than one of the above mentioned systems would also have failed.
