Awesome, we appreciate you sharing this. A new battery is a good thing. Checking alternator is also a great idea. You might even want to replace your alternator for precautionary purposes. Especially if you live in an area where you will be going into colder winter months ahead. Better to replace alternator now as opposed to the middle of winter.

Okay. Well this happened to me this morning on the highway. My power steering went out. My battery is perfectly fine. I even got it tested. It's perfectly fine. There is no corrosion on my battery either. The only corrosion I can see on my battery are in the ventilation areas but not on the physical cables. I'm so confused on what is causing this because I turned my car back on a few hours later and all of a sudden my power steering is back and working properly.
@rankisdumb214 Жыл бұрын
Any idea what would cause loose steering? Like no force required to turn the wheel. No spring back to center!! I know my Cruze has electric steering cause this happened once before. Unfortunately this time it happened after my cousin worked on the car so I have absolutely no idea what he may have done.. the first time it happened is when my alternator went bad. I know that's not the case now cause my car just sat in my garage for 3 months and started right up.

mrtravdawg Thanks for watching. Let’s get this figured out. You can actually visit your local AutoZone and ask them to hook up an OBD scanner to your onboard computer and read any and all error codes. They do this for 100% free. They will then provide you with a print out of all error codes and this will help us pinpoint the exact part that needs to be replaced.... or.... your onboard computer may just require a quick and friendly system reset which AutoZone can perform with their scanner. Let’s start there as it will keep money in your pocket. Keep us posted. 😎👍🔧🔩

@DIYwithMichaelBorders4 жыл бұрын
mrtravdawg Thanks for the update. Try disconnecting your black negative cable from your battery and leaving it disconnected for a minimum of 30 minutes. This will allow your system to perform a full reset. After 30 minutes, reconnect your black negative cable to your battery and start engine. A test drive is recommended to allow all systems to operate and communicate to the onboard computer. You may have just had a computer glitch and this reset may get you back in-line. Keep us posted. 😎👍🔧🔩
