Thank you

 

What is the cost for this fuse?

 

The fuse is an 80 amp Mega Fuse made by Littelfuse. The GM part number is 22689708. It is the only fuse that will work for this application (2007-2009 Equinox/Torrent). You should expect to pay around $10-$12 from your local dealership.

The part number for the EPS fuse on 2010+ Equinox/Terrain is GM p/n 15342606 (80 amp Midi Fuse; also made by Littelfuse).

Both of these fuses are rated for 80 amps, but they are not interchangeable because the Mega Fuse is physically much larger than the Midi Fuse.

 

So my power steering has gone out the second time in 1 month. I have replaced the fuse twice as well as the entire motor. What could it be? I have called a dealership locally but they aren't going to help me unless I pay them.

 

Need more info. Please answer the following questions:

What year is your Equinox?
Which engine does it have?
Does the power steering fuse keep blowing?
What is the amperage rating of the replacement fuses you've installed?

 

I've swapped out the fuse and found that the first one was never bad after later testing. Check engine light and stabilitrak light is on. May or may not be relevant, going about 60mph, steering wheel vibrates.

Should my next step be replacing the motor? If so, which one? I've seen several but was never sure which one was correct for my model.

Or should I do something else?

 

You'll want to get the codes for the the check engine light and Service Stabilitrak messages. Those messages may also be unrelated, but you won't know until you get the codes. The part number is 20824576 for a replacement power steering motor and it fits 2007-2009 Equinox/Torrent.

The vibration at 60 mph may be unrelated, but you should get that checked out. You may just need an alignment, but you might also have some worn out parts like the tie rod ends and/or ball joints.

 

Power steering fuse for a 2007 Chevy Equinox

 

Go to a dealership and ask for part number 22689708. Expect to pay just over $10 for it.

 

I have an 09 Equinox Sport with the 3.6 motor, my power steering gets hard especially when I'm slowing down to make a turn. So I started noticing that once I accelerate it works fine ( like when the rpm's are above 1000 to 1200) I've replaced the power steering motor/pump and from reading other posts it doesn't sound like the fuse.


Any knowledge or ideas?
Thanks in Advance
