If you suddenly lost power steering while driving, After a jump start or even After not starting the vehicle after a while and your 80 AMP fuse is not blown and you are out of options and can’t find any helpful solutions on the internet then you should invest 10 minutes of your life and try this. (Power steering control module did not come up when scanned twice)

Thank you so much, I just had the same issue this morning and I watched your video boom problem solved. My car is a Pontiac Torrent 2006. When I took the cover off I noticed that one of the plugged wire was not entirely plugged in, so I pushed the plug in the problème was fixed. You just saved me a lot of headache.

Glad to hear that! I got a headache after 3 long weeks of daily research until I got the wonderful idea of trying that for the hell of it! Glad I saved you research time, trips to mechanic and a couple hundred dollars! 😉

@Lil K00n I did exactly what he did in the video. Removed the panel and made sure none of the wires were loose. I believe 1 of the sets goes to the electric power steering. I had already replaced the 80 amp fuse which did not help.

Thank you so much. For me it was the wires going through the black rubber toward the center of the steering column. I wonder how many people paid big money to replace parts because of an electrical connector problem.

I would not know on that man! Maybe a corroded ground wire? Try and locate your ground wire and see if it properly grounded. Most times it needs direct contact with bare metal.

Also how you put transmission fluid in a 2008 chevy equinox

@chuylalo96 3 жыл бұрын

So in order to add transmission fluid to this vehicle you have to remove one of the the lower motor mounts and then there is a transmission dip stick which holds it with a screw. Then you get 1 inch hose I believe with a funnel on the end and that’s how you add it. I will have to find the link to the video so you can see it.

GM probably hates you for making this video! If you happen to go missing we here will all know why! They rather charge you 1000+ to fix something so easy! I own the 08 sport . I spent alot of money on replacing the timing chain! Shouldn't happen on a car with such low mileage. I'm hoping someone steals it to be honest! Last GM I will ever buy thats for sure.

It went off only cuz u turned off the car cuz usually when this happens I turn of car and turn on again it work good for few days maybe weeks the it happens randomly so what u did is nothing bro it’s just cuz the car was turned off then on again that’s all loool

sentido comun ; Honestly don’t know what the issue might be! Maybe the PCM need to be reprogrammed? God knows. Same happened to me, light comes up once in a while but then turns off; I do not lose power steering though!
