Default Solved! 08 power steering

If your 80 Amp fuse was not the issue to the loss of your power steering try and wiggle the wiring on you Power steering motor and push in the connectors under the steering column. Do not know if it a temporary or a permanent fix. This might be a quick and easy fix.

I just joined so I could confirm that this actually worked for me! I was 99% sure it wouldn't do a damn thing. Hahaha I didn't feel any loose connections, but after wiggling the wires and connector the power steering works again. I only drove it for about 5 minutes, but so far so good.

I’m so glad it helped you and possibly saved you a couple dollars taking it to diagnose or even having a mechanic work on it only to tell you “If it's not this then it will be that” Honestly it’s been 6 months since I did this and I have not lost power steering, only twice the service stabiltrak light comes up but will usually turn off after I turn off the car and turn it back on. I would greatly appreciate it if you support my video and share it so it reaches people having this issue; i looked everywhere and nothing whatsoever was helpful.
