If the light's on whilst it's running it's likely to be the alternator.
You need to stick a volt meter on the battery. It ought to be 13-14v with the engine running and 12-14v with the engine off.
If it's lower when running it's the alt if it's lower switched off it's the battery.
Is the steering defo electric? If not it might be the belt that drives the steering pump also driver the alternator and is slipping or broken.
