If the Power Steering on your 2001 Ford Windstar SEL is fluctuating, it may indicate a low power steering fluid level, a malfunctioning power steering pump, or a problem with the steering rack. Check the fluid level and top it up if necessary; if the issue persists, inspecting the pump for wear or leaks is advisable. Additionally, consider checking for any air trapped in the system, as this can cause inconsistent steering assistance. If you're unable to resolve the issue, consulting a mechanic may be necessary.
