2015 Ram 1500 5.7 hemi power steering stopped working after I got a jump. here's how to fix it

[@craigvaneck3599]

Akeem…! Thank you so much for the extremely important video. I just spent a week under the hood and after having to cut my terminal wire’s at the terminal end and then tube spliced the wires to extend the length of them to reach the new positive terminal. It worked!!! It cleared the warning light and know have my power steering back!!! So thankful my man.

[@AkeemGoodman]

You're welcome

[@MikeysMix]

Brother, thank you you just save me a bunch of money. All I did was just disconnected that line off the terminal and blew it out. Cleaned it up a little bit and it went back to normal. Thank you my brother, my day is great again!

[@AkeemGoodman]

You're welcome! I'm glad to help

[@Za3eeem9]

Thanx from UAE, same problem, the dealer immediately said its gonna cost you so much, thanx again.

Your video and another video helped me. Same issue. Learned from your video. Fixed the problem . Just wanted to thank you .

[@AkeemGoodman]

You're welcome

[@dennislinares2582]

Awesome! This was great info, thank you brother! In my case my truck got flooded in water and that wire that goes to the rack and pinion is probably the problem. I checked the fuses on that battery terminal and they seem good, at least the terminal is clean. It has not stoped raining but I'll jump on it as soon as it stops!

[@johnnychavles9403]

Did you have a chance to fix the problem? Did it work?

[@noahloftus186]

Hey man, we just drove through water because we just had a hurricane today. Was that the issue?

[@hammondr191887]

Power steering went out on my as i turned onto my street last night. Hoping this works for me too.

[@snicolle76]

Mines doing the same thing where you able to visually see if the fuse was blown just curious, got the terminal on order just in case.

[@AkeemGoodman]

Yes take that clear plastic cover off that's on the terminal. It was hard to see through it. You can also jump the cables from the positive battery terminal directly onto the terminal that the power steering pump wire is mounted to. If it works that's your problem.

[@snicolle76]

@@AkeemGoodman appreciate it!

[@zlvoh301]

Yo bro, I have a 2013 ram i want to hopefully try this tomorrow to see if it can fix mine because im tired of this pain in the ass steering and I dont have 3k to put on new parts. So what exactly did you do sorry im not mechanically inclined lol. Looks like you have 2 reds hooked up to the positive??? Or how does that work??? and how are you jumping it, is the other end connected to a car or another battery??

[@AkeemGoodman]

Did you ever try it

[@philoskill15]

It only happens in winter for my 2013 and work great when it's hot, do you think it could still be the fuse on the unhappy cable?

[@AkeemGoodman]

Did you check for signs of leaking fluid?

[@frivera735]

@@AkeemGoodmanthey don’t have fluids they are electronic so inside the reck there’s a small belt they only have grease on the gears

[@romerom220]

My 2013 has the same issue... Have you figured out what was wrong with it?

[@philoskill15]

@@romerom220 No, i tried to grease the two connectors but unfortunately the problem is back this morning at 0•C.(not that cold for Quebec winter) ...gotta change the whole rack $, once theirs humidity in the system you can't do anything.

@@philoskill15 Mine is in a shop right now getting entire R&P replaced... $3000+usd 😭. Not only that the OEM R&P was on backorder and did't know when it will be available so had to go with aftermarket parts... Good luck on your truck sir!

[@trapmusic0.k.82]

So will you need to replace that terminal are did the jump fix the problem

[@AkeemGoodman]

Inside of that terminal is a fuse. If that fuse is blown you'll need a new terminal. There's also a recall on some pumps so check that too

[@vlad5020]

thanks so much body you rescued me !

[@AkeemGoodman]

No problem. I'm glad to have helped

[@urielbenavidez3232]

Bro! This fixed mine, you have no idea how greatful I am! Did you get the part number?

[@AkeemGoodman]

I don't have the part number but you can call the dealer or check eBay

[@katd3467]

Same thing happend to me after getting a boost!!! Ordered the part hopefully it works

[@craigvaneck3599]

Hi guys do you have a pic of the new terminal! Was it hard to replace?

[@craigvaneck3599]

So…., just replace the terminal?

[@AkeemGoodman]

Yes if your fuse is blown

[@vicentegonzales3852]

I just work on it and I did what u did but it work for short time like 10 sec or more then stop working and I noticed the battery is 11/20 .. it 4 years old … no sign of weak battery at all

[@danielil1509]

I have the same issue on mine but fuse keeps blowing I think at the end you’ll have to replace the rack and pinion

[@AkeemGoodman]

I haven't had anymore issues from mine

[@renecruz1937]

Where are you located boss , I’d like for you to check out my truck with same Issue

[@brandyh.3236]

I have a 2015 Dodge Ram 5.7 Hemi check engine light came on speedometer don't work and steering is tight. Any idea what it could be?

[@AkeemGoodman]

Sounds like the pump. See if the light on the dash shows up like in the video

[@brandyh.3236]

@@AkeemGoodman it's not showing the same light as the video. The check power steering light is not on. Just the check engine light.

[@brandyh.3236]

@@AkeemGoodman , is there a power steering pump on electric power steering?

[@AkeemGoodman]

@@brandyh.3236 there's a wire leading from the positive battery terminal down to the electric steering pump

[@aggie7756]

So, it's not very clear what the problem is. If I'm understanding correctly, you saying the problem in your truck was a blown fuse at the positive terminal of your battery?

[@AkeemGoodman]

Yes. The issue was at the battery terminal. One of the cables can be traced to the pump.

[@johnnyMacburnette6711]

good save brother!!!

[@AkeemGoodman]

No problem

[@fabiangrijalva5052]

I did the same thing and it don’t work on mine , so it’s the rack and pinion?

[@AkeemGoodman]

@@fabiangrijalva5052 I'd check all of the fuses first then my connections. Then the electric power steering pump that's connected to the rack

[@Peterswarahed]

Bad contact when you loosen the battery connection.

[@AntoineEllis-f7c]

Was that 1 pair of jumping cable or 2

[@AkeemGoodman]

@@AntoineEllis-f7c it was just one

[@rigovaldivia6872]

this wont mess up my battery or anything?

[@AkeemGoodman]

It shouldn't

[@michaelheythaler2274]

So it was the 125 amp fuse.?

[@AkeemGoodman]

I don't remember which fuse. You can trace the wire down to the pump

[@beausoutdoors9547]

Thank you!!

[@AkeemGoodman]

I'm going to assume that this worked for you. You're welcome

[@grouchowill6315]

Thanks

[@Smartway5]

Yeah it work until you take the cables off lol

[@AkeemGoodman]

It's apparent you didn't watch the entire video. Change the terminal if this works
