Its only lost when going through a standing water puddle on the road. It doesnt have to be that deep. It is a 2007 Hyundai Sonata S
Your belt is worn out. slipping when it gets wet.
SOURCE: i need to remove the power steering pulley but leave the pump on.
The only way i know is to go to an auto parts store and rent the tool you need to do that, (like auto zone) because its pressed on and you need the tool to get it off. I would unbolt the pump and move it out of the way but its up to you. Your doing the work.

chances are the belt is getting so wet its slipping on the pulley causing you to lose power assist temporarily
SOURCE: remove the power steering pump pulley on a 2003 monte carlo
you can either remove the steering pump to gain access,if there is no holes in PS pump pulley,you can rent a pulley puller....can be a ***** to get in and use them though....I will drill a hole in it for next time whenever I replace a pump on cars without ....
SOURCE: I hit a puddle and the brake and battery lights come on
When you went through the puddle water got all over your serpentine belt causing it to slip,so that is why you lost your steering and the alternator stopped charging which is on the same circuit as the brake light sensor. So if everything is all right now do not wast your money at a shop everything will be fine:)
SOURCE: power steering went out while driving and battery
If the water got high enough to cover the front of the engine or was shot up high enough by hitting the puddle it will cause the belt or belts to slip on the pulleys so you can loose power steering or the alt will show low amperage output and will turn on the battery light.
Testimonial: "You were also correct. Belt off and only one bolt holding altinator on, other two bolts broke. Thank you for your help"
