To fix power steering problems in a 2001 Ford E250, first check the power steering fluid level and top it off if it's low, as leaks can lead to steering issues. Inspect the power steering pump for any signs of wear or damage, and ensure the drive belt is tight and in good condition. If the problem persists, consider checking for leaks in the power steering lines and replacing the pump or steering gear if necessary. Always consult a professional mechanic if you're unsure about the repairs.

CK. with ford dealer............
its underneath the steering wheel behind a plastic cover that snaps off. just look, you'll find it.
remove cover off the steering wheel maybe 4 screws look for loos or undone wires. if you have a steering colume that goes up and down they get disconneccted easy. look at your fuses.
Check the catalytic converter. They get plugged and cause the vehicle to lose power.
If there is no drain plug you will have to remove the pan to drain the fluid. This removes 4-5 quarts out of 12 or so in the transmission. You can also take it to a shop and have them do a fluid exchange where they pump out all the old fluid and replace it with new.
You add the transmission fluid to where you check the level (I think it's on the passenger side when you look under the hood). remove the dip stick and add fluid with a narrow funnel. Check level when engine is running.
On a 1993 Ford E250 van, the diagnostic port, also known as the OBD-I connector, is typically located under the dashboard, near the driver's side. It can be found to the left of the steering column, close to where the dashboard meets the steering wheel. You may need to crouch down or use a flashlight to see it clearly. This port is used for connecting diagnostic tools to read trouble codes from the vehicle's onboard computer.
