I have a 2007 Monte carlo lt and my power steering goes out when i go thru water. It has done this more then 4 times in the last 6 months. I am lucky i wasnt going fast or in traffic. dealership said it was water getting under the belt and does not seem to care. I am really scared i am going to have an accident if this is not fixed and the only other dealership is 60 miles away.

You need a better scanner to diagnose, not just for codes. It sounds like faulty shift solenoids. A professional grade scan tool computer is bi-directional and can command solenoids to operate and verify that they did.

well if u mean its hard to turn then i would suspect its the power steering pump is bad just because its not low on fluid doesnt mean its not bad

open the hood and look to the left of the motor where the belt is, there is a cap on a resivoir that says power steering fluid, thats where the fluid goes

you can either remove the steering pump to gain access,if there is no holes in PS pump pulley,you can rent a pulley puller....can be a ***** to get in and use them though....I will drill a hole in it for next time whenever I replace a pump on cars without ....

it is a skill level 6 to take this out. it is only two hoses and 4 bolts.

There is only 4 bolts that hold the pump to the block If you have the 4 bolts removed then hit the hub that the water pump pulley goes on with a hammer. some times you may have to hit it 3 or 4 good whacks. Hope this helps.

there should be holes in power steering pump pulley that when positioned correctly the bole should go through one of those holes, if not then you have to remove the pump

Likely the signal lights are controlled by an electronic module, not by the traditional bi-metal flasher. The bi-metal unit clicks, the module is a circut board and does not do that.

Hi ledfooted_dr, the fuse box on located on the left side of the steering column below the dash good luck
