brakes???????
so last night i changed my oil filter, fuel filter and oil. that went good and it took 2 dead batteries and a jump to get her started again 
.. but then this little red light came on next to my steering wheel, and it has no writing or anything by it and my power brakes dont work 
. I was thinking the power steering fluid could be low.. idk what else ny sugestions???

The power steering actually does have something to do with the brakes, trust me I know... We were out screwing around and I hit the slope of a hill and and took out my power steering pump and not only did I lose my steering but I lost my brakes once all of the fluid drained.

i do believe it wasnt till 97 when they introduced the hydro booster off the power stearing pump. 94-97 used vacuum at the brake booster
