Electrical Problems PS,A/C,RADIO,SPEEDOMETER,SIGNALS,AIR BAG LIGHT ON, ALTERNATOR

Have you checked your fuses?

[big lo]

First off when did the problem accure? Did you have some work done to the car that needed some cables installed? Did you buy the vehicle used? The fuse box should be checked, and the battery as well, if the car runs its not the alternater, has to be the battery it might be low in charge.

IT OCCURED ABOUT A WEEK AGO THREE TIMES. NO WORK WAS DONE FOR ANY NEW CABLES. YES, THE CAR WAS BOUGHT USED 2 YEARS AGO AND I NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS. BOTH FUSE BOXES WERE CHECKED. TY!

I hope someone else knows where this guy was going, since his post is 2 years old.... but I would answer YES to this question... that make a a difference?

I changed the pump, put everything back together, it started up nice n quiet now finally but:
Basically the only electrical devices that come on are the headlights. No tails, running lights, radio, heat n a/c, tire pressure light and P/S light are on. The battery light is NOT on so it is charging. Yes, I removed the alernator to do the job, of course, and NO I did not drop it or anything silly like that. This is the first time I I have ever had to work on this car.
If it makes a difference, I had to do this job after the water pump pully becoming so wobby it must have siezed for a decond and snapped the belt off at 75MPH.
Thanks for the help, anyone!

I am thinking that you did not pull the battery connectors when removing the alternator? If that is the case you likely shorted the high current wire from the alternator to the battery popping one of the large fusible links that is molded into the positive battery terminal assembly.
