Hopefully you have not fried the motor. To free a stuck motor: try to reach past the strainer to the impeller and turn it. If you can't do that, remove the electric end cover and find a double flat for a wrench where the shaft goes into the motor. Or maybe you can remove the spring thing from the end of the motor and move the shaft with a pair of vise grips or pliers. Don't damage the place where the spring thing mounts. Don't try to move the motor with the plastic fan thing near the pump, you'll just break it, and then you really have problems.
To keep a motor from sticking, thru off season occasionaly spin the pump, just a few seconds will do, don't need water.

Makes a noise when i drive and gets louder when i turn the wheel. i think its low power steering fluid. the wheel is harder to turn now.

Check the fluid, if it's low put some in it, if it still does it, the power steering pump might be on it's way out.

I'm need assistance wiring my hayward 2 speed super pump up with my pool timer. the pump is working now but it's running real hot and making alot of noise.

You may have a faulty bearing ... causing the noise. The pump is actually water cooled. Do you have 2 inch line for your 2 HP pump? Small pipe makes the pump work harder. If your lines are smaller, you may want to consider a smaller pump.

the motors will run pretty warm.

Run your pump on high for best results.

If you are using a timer ... you will need a double pole switch to turn it off if it is setup for 220 VAC (which it should be, for most econimical operation)

Pinnacle 1.5 hp inground pool pump making a lot of noise- it's only 2 years old and at the end of last season was much louder than it should be

Is pump moving water at a normal rate and pressure? If so, then you are in need of a bearing replacement. There is no specific lifetime for bearings or shaft seals, however two years would be at the lower end of scale. Have front and rear bearings replaced along with shaft seal.

My fuel pump makes a whistling noise when car is runing

This is a normal thing and nothing to worry about. Most electric fuel pumps make a whining noise. Some are louder than others and it is nothing to worry about unless you notice it getting much louder then normal.
