Power steering Loss
Hello. I have a 2002 Dodge Durango. Runs great, no problems at all. Until last night!
I left my house, traveled apx 8 miles on freeway, got off, and when I went to make the turn on to main road, noticed I had no power steering at all. No noises. No squeakes. So, i pulled into a local gas station to see if i was low on fluid. Fluid is fine. Like I said. no leaks, and noises, just no power steering. Serpentine seems fine, hoses seem fine.
Any ideas, or suggestions would be grateful!
Sincerely,
Kevin

The power steering pump shaft may have snap in half, Ck and see if the fan belt is still on the engine. Best way to ck, is to use a pry bar or a large screw driver and move the pulley forword. If it comes forword then it snapped.
Not sure if this is what you mean or not, but the serpentine is complete, and the pulley of the p.s pump does spin when car is running.Fan is spinning as well, no noises at all anywhere. Did i misunderstand your help?
Thanks,
Kev

Well, I had to run up to the store and when I happened to stop at a stop signi tried something, I put the truck in Neutral, reved up the engine upand when it passes apx. 2500 rpms, the power steering kicks in. (easyto turn the wheel), butwhen i let off the gas to normal, its back to the same old arm busting steering.[/align]Whatcha think?[/align]kev[/align]
