Power Steering pumps are more complicated than rack and pinion steering. They are driven by belts and pulleys, using power generated by the engine crankshaft.
power steering fluid is fluid that makes the power steering pump work and it goes in the power steering pump under the hood.
Getting your electric power steering pump to work is dependent upon what is causing the power steering pump to malfunction. In most cases replacing a blown fuse will alleviate the problem.
