Description of the problem | At first my battery died after i came out of work. I couldn't understand why since i didn't leave anything on. So i got the battery replaced for $200. Recently the steering has been cutting out while driving. If you pull off into a parking lot and turn off the car you can still hear the cooling fan going. After approx 30 min the power steering will return to normal until it overheats again. So my battery was being drained by the power steering cooling fan. |
