Unhappy Loss of power and PS

I left work, and my car started and operated fine. However, when I stopped to get gas, the car did not start. Not even a click. I thought it could be the battery because the security and door open lights were dim. I just replaced the battery 5 months ago, so I wiggled the cables. This didnt work. For some reason, about 5 minutes later, everything worked great, except my power steering was gone. Still not working. Any help?

Hmmmmm, power steering usually points towards an electrical problem. alternator? how old is the car and how many miles? auto or manual? also did you add any aftermarket items(anything, stereo, exhaust, etc)?
