Description of the problem | My power steering fails intermittently without notice. Eventually a high pitched weeing sound was noticeable. The sound eventually stopped. We turned the car off for the evening. The next morning the battery (only 1 year old) was completely dead. After getting the battery charged and functional, i proceeded to do some research and phone calling to find out the cause of the noise. Come to find out the problem is the power steering pump and is something that will need to be replaced. |
