GOOGLE STRIP LINK FUSES AND SEE THE PICS ITS BASICALLY A THIN METAL STRIP to connect positive terminal to wire running to steering pump, on my car its the third wire from the left.
NOTE : THIS IS NOT THE PLASTIC ENCASED FUSES ON THE NEGATIVE TERMINAL ITS A THIN METAL STRIP (no colourful see through plastic housing we are used to but just a bare metal strip) it almost looks like LIKE PART OF THE BLACK PLASTIC BOX ON THE POSTIVE TERMINAL, TOTALLY DIFFERENT FROM THE BLACK BOX ON THE NEGATIVE TERMINAL HOUSING THE colourful PLASTIC ENCASED FUSES. PROBLEM IS SIMPLE : ONE OF THE STRIP LINK METAL FUSES WAS FAULTY ABOVE POSITIVE BATTERY TERMINAL. I battled with this issue steering wheel light illuminated on the dashboard and no power steering. I replaced both the tank and the fluid and have a working system again. On top of that it is a white fluid vs a green or red fluid.Įdit 2: I finally pulled the pump down and the top of the tank was completely cracked and it had old glue all over it (which was also cracked). The only thing that concerns me is when I removed the battery to have access to the reservoir the fluid had overflowed and was all over the platform the battery sits on. I'm at a loss as to what could have caused my power steering to cut off intermittently.
I was able to get under the car after work and traced the whole wire. It is a **** to replace and route through the engine bay if you don't have midget hands but do able none the less. The wires are exposed and will short giving you a slightly heavier steering and a nice yellow warning light on the dash. It runs close to the exhaust and when the engine moves a lot the exhaust can touch this cable and you get this:
