    Wife's 2005 Malibu steering went dead several times recently and I was puzzled whewen I didn't find a fluid pump. Here on FixYa I learned that an electric motor provided power assist. Said electric motor has a fuse in the engine compartment fuse block, #41. Owner's manual calls for a 40A (32Vdc) fuse and I found an 80A that tested to show intermittent resistyance. Replaced it with ther recommended fuse and the steering seems to be working fine.
    If this doesn't solve check the control harness that is attached from the steering column housing to the motor.

Where do i add power steering fluid to a 2005 chevy malibu

There is no power steering fluid in the system.A 2005 Malibu is electronic steering.If you lose assist you may have to replace the steering column.You may also have an intermediate shaft that is binding.The I-shaft connects your steering column to the steering gear.There is a universal joint in the shaft that may be stiff or seized.
