There is no power steering fluid, it is all electrical. You need to bring it to a dealership or repair shop as per the Car Manual.

There is a fuse for the power steering motor or the motor may be bad. This IS a common problem with electric steering systems,check with dealer for recall information.

JUST HAD THAT PROBLEM. BROUGHT IN TO GM DEALERSHIP. CALLED AND SAID IT WOULD BE 257.00 , had to replace electric motor. They called back in about 15 min later and said it would be free, because it was a known defect. Yay!

two weeks ago, my sound alarms stopped working. So my Saturn no longer dings when I turn off the car and leave the lights on on accident. this morning I woke up to find my battery dead because I left the lights on. AAA came and jumped started my car but now the power steering is out. are these two fuses related and would the be covered under any defect?
