if it has an electric power steering system, the battery light indicates alternator failure ( belt or alternator problems ) and there is insufficient power to run the power steering
again if the drive belt for the alternator is broken or missing , that will put on the battery light and there will be no power steering as the power steering pump will not be driven either
CAUTION: While repairing the power steering system, care should be taken to prevent the entry of contaminants or premature failure of the power steering components may result.

Hi Tereza.
has anybody checked the pressure hoses of the steering and especially the one which has the one way valve inside whether is the one with the problem?
The power steering is controlled by an electric motor and not the normal belt driven pump ... So it's gonna be an issue with the electric pump on the steering rack
For the 3.0L Vulcan, you have a tensioner that is located just below the power steering pully. Use a 15mm wrench or the 15mm shallow well socket that comes in a Serpentine Belt tool to push the tensioner toward the rear of the engine compartment. Take the old belt off and route the new belt. The belt begins at the crankshaft pully, goes under and around the a/c compressor, up around the power steering pump, around (with the flat edge) the idler pully, around the alternator, the flat edge then sits against the tensioner and back around to the water pump pully. You should have a belt routing diagram on the underside of the hood just above the serpentine pully assembly.
