With the engine running slowly turn the steering wheel from stop to stop several times. Make sure the level stays full. As the air pockets are reduced the level may go down. It may take awhile to get all the air out of the system. If the power steering works it is not a problem.

Make sure the P/S pump is full of fluid. Start the engine and let it run for 5 minutes. Now turn the steering wheel fully to the left lock and then fully to the right lock. Repeat this process 10 times. If the pump is still noisy repeat again. This will remove all air from the system.

SOURCE: bleeding power steering pump

The system bleeds its self as it runs, the pump will eventually stop wining once the air is out of the lines.Let the van idle and turn the steering wheel full lock in each direction a couple time to move the fluid through out the system letting out any air.

SOURCE: power steering pump

The pump has to be removed from under the vehicle by removing the exhaust system from the flex bracket and moving it to as far left of the vehicle as possible..remember you have to remove the splash shield that protects the engine components first...then remove all associated bolts,hoses (plug them so they won't drip) and remove the pump from the vehicle..that it.

Driving home from work power steering stopped working and 2005 dodge caravan overheated

Check your drive belt under the hood. There is one belt that drives everything if it is broken or loose you will loose power steering,alternator, A/C, and possibly the water pump. If the belt is intact but loose the tesioner is probably the problem.
