Probably needs power steering fluid and a new battery and/or alternator.

Sounds like the idle is dipping too low. The serpentine belt then spins slower, making the steering harder and the light to dim. Time for a tune up. Any lights lit up on the dash?

no lights on the dash it indicate an issue. when at low speed or turening the steering is heavy hard to turn, I did notice that the seatbelt indicator light when click and come on and also at the smae time the power windows would not work it has a a new serpintine belt and all new pulleys we also replaced the spark plugs and distruibor and cap

I have a 2004 Ford Taurus (automatic transmission) which has sat idle for the last couple of years with some occaisional startings, but not driven. Battery was dead and we recharged and moved the car around to start getting it road worthy. Found that the gear/transmission handle was extremely hard to shift from park to drive and reverse. Took great effort to shift into any of the selections, but it did function over the weekend. Went to start the car up yesterday and car won't turn over. Battery is powering all systems and lights (no dimming of lights/radio interior systems all function), but car won't attempt to start, not even a click from the starter which worked perfectly over the weekend. Could the neutral safety switch have any hand in preventing car from starting. 3 Answers
Car started fine over the weekend, but shifting from park to reverse/Drive/Low were all very stiff.
