yes, try removing serp belt and pull out on pump pully, some times the pully drive shaft fractures and does not drive to pump. but it looks like it do.Actually 1997 was the first year GM added "speed sensitive steering" to the GMC Sierra. On these trucks there is a pump pressure sensor switch. There are various placements for this switch. Some are located on the lower steering column under the dash, some are located on the steering gear box, or like my 97 Sierra SLE extended w/5.7 litre (350cid) located on the underside of the pump itself. When at speed on the highway, going into a curve, my steering would stiffen, and then suddenly "break loose" causing me to oversteer. Originally thought my belt was slipping, or pump was going bad. After further research, discovered that the pressure control module (switch) was bad.

Vauxhall vectra power steering problems?

Yes i have a steering problem with a SRI V6 Vectra that is on 1999V. Its a strange issue where the tracing changes on its own. If you go around a left turn quite hard the steering will be straight. If you go around a right turn sharp then the steering will be half a turn out. When the steering is out the car still drives fine with no wobbles and doesnt pull anywhere. Have all the track rod ends etc checked, seems ok! Anyone got any ideas? Thanks Jay

If 2005 Chevy Cobalt SS power steering warning comes on and the power steering goes out what's wrong?

i am having the same problem...have you found the solution yet? I had the same problem and had to get the steering column replaced. This is not something anyone can cause nor prevent. I had it fixed by the dealer but GM was not accomodating in fixing the defect in their product. I have filed a complaint with National Highway Traffic Safety Administration at (888) 327-4236. If enough people call with complaints, it can prompt a recall in which GM will have to pay for the reapirs. I encourage anyone with power steering problems to call and file a complaint. This power steering component is the same as the Pontiac G6. NHTSA forced an extension on the warranty of that part due to complaints by G6 owners.
