Is the pressure in spec? Check for a possible restriction hydrolically if under. It may have nothing to do with the power steering system however. IF you get the front end off the ground, withe the wheels turns easly when you grab one side at the 3 & 9 o'clock position? IF tight, disconnect the tie rod ends and again try turning them to check for ball joint stiffness trouble. If tightness is gone, check back into the rack or tie rods, if you had a car, the strut bearing would be questionable also.
someone said torque converter. mechanic tried replacing high pressure hose but problem still there. I thought power steering pump cos it was replaced December 2012 and problem started soon after. mechanic (bates) said the problem is hard to diagnose. this information was added by the original poster
I had the same problem with my legend and I replaced the main relay: Started right up!
It might be your transmition...
mine just started the same thing. my mechanic says that he replaced a wire within the steering wheel and that did it for another vehicle - same model, year.
The squeak possibly could be tierods. My '98 Mercury had a bit of a squeak coming from under the front and I figured it to be just old car sounds coming on. The steering started getting a bit tight and shaky, from there I was told the steering trouble was undiagnosable, but the tirods needed replacement and the squeaking was what alerted them to that. I went to a different mechanic to have that fixed and they told me the steering trouble was definitely related to the tierod. After they replaced that the squeak and steering trouble was gone.
First, why was the battery replaced? If there was a pre-existing problem (like a bad starter, for example), replacing the battery will not solve the problem. If, however, the car started fine before battery replacement, then the problem could be that the battery terminals (clamps) were not sufficiently tightened. Don't laugh, but there have been instances where the plastic cap(s) covering the new battery's positive and negative terminals were not removed (duh!). Remove those plastic caps.
Bad flasher? Switch? Bulbs? you may also have a short in your steering column, i had a similar problem and after merely adjusting the steering wheel height and playing around with the blinker they started working again, good luck
It sounds like the inner steering shaft. I had the same problem on a 1997 Dodge Ram.
The problem is the horn ring under the steering wheel, not the horn.
I have a 1993 Jeep GC Larado also. Recently I didn't have spark either. I replaced my coil: didn't fix the problem. Then I started to think that it might be as simple as a fuse. There is a fuse panel under the hood where all the ABS controls are, inside is a 20amp fuse that controls the ignition. Mine was blown, once I replaced it, the vehicle started perfectly.
I had a problem with my 97 deville air ride and the fuse in the trunk labeled RSS was missing so I replaced it and the shocks started working.
If the problem started after you replaced a fuse, you need to check that the fuse is good and installed properly.
