Hello, The reason why it was hard to steer was the engine wasn't running. The rpm, seedo, air condition, power steering does work if the engine has died. First check to see the belts are on the pulley and rolls in the engine carpment. If they are on and not broken then you other problem.
Will you car start, if doesn't. You could have run out of fuel?. Power steer pressure valve is faulty, broke a timing belt, run out of oil and the engine quit working. Engine got hot and stopped.
If it not starting, call a wrecker have them take to a garage of your choice. GB...stewbison
well you could open the hood and look. a broken belt usually makes quite a flopping racket when it goes. today's cars usually have a serpentine belt which runs the power steering, the alternator, and the air conditioning pump so when the belt breaks you hear the noise, the steering gets hard, and the alternator light comes on. a few cars however have separate belts. open the hood and take a look. will look like a black belt laying in there.
ok real common. get your vin and call your local gm dealer. there is a recall on these and express vans, under hard load, the input shaft to the pump shears internally. to check, dont disasemble anything, put a pry bar behind pump pulley, pry lighty it will slide in and out, all the way if you keep pulling. i hope your covered for a free one its an old recall. good luck!
