SOLVED! 2008 Chevy Equinox Sudden Loss of Power Steering

[@spartan183msu]

In a thousand years I never thought this would work but I just did it to my 2007 Equinox and it totally worked.

[@chuylalo96]

Glad this helped you out brother!

[@spartan183msu]

@Lil K00n I did exactly what he did in the video. Removed the panel and made sure none of the wires were loose. I believe 1 of the sets goes to the electric power steering. I had already replaced the 80 amp fuse which did not help.

Thanks for taking the time to record and post this video.

[@MACmorshit]

Thank you so much, I just had the same issue this morning and I watched your video boom problem solved. My car is a Pontiac Torrent 2006. When I took the cover off I noticed that one of the plugged wire was not entirely plugged in, so I pushed the plug in the problème was fixed. You just saved me a lot of headache.

[@chuylalo96]

Glad to hear that! I got a headache after 3 long weeks of daily research until I got the wonderful idea of trying that for the hell of it! Glad I saved you research time, trips to mechanic and a couple hundred dollars! 😉

[@shondaeg]

How the hell did you get the cover off mine will not budge!

[@thetgjoker616]

Mines just started acting up today, I watched this video and MANNN it worked!!! Thxs bro

[@travisdownes666]

Our power steering in our 07 equinox just suddenly went out, we fiddled with the wires turned the car back on and it worked again!

[@chuylalo96]

I’m Glad this worked for you Travis! Feels nice to have that good feedback. Take care man and hope you Equinox doesn’t give you any more problems!

4 years later first time seeing August 18 2023

[@ericmathis992]

I just got off work and my power steering is out in my 08 equinox, going to try this.

[@chuylalo96]

Good luck! Make sure to let me know if it worked for you!

[@stevenbrooks7144]

Thank you so much. For me it was the wires going through the black rubber toward the center of the steering column. I wonder how many people paid big money to replace parts because of an electrical connector problem.

[@chuylalo96]

Glad I was able to save you money brother. 🤙🏼 I went crazy researching for a whole month and no mechanic knew what the hell was going on until I decided to self diagnose 😂 Wish you the best on your vehicle ✌🏼

[@waynetarver338]

[@g..._anthony27]

Yep

[@keithg6275]

Pull as u turn it

[@ZhayNotezBOOK]

How do you get those screws out...what kinds screw driver? Anyone? I'm seeing them in there but can't really grip em..

[@christopherchavez6135]

I LOVE YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@BALLOONDEBBIE]

Thanks, I'm gonna see if that's it.

[@joseportillo4469]

Also how you put transmission fluid in a 2008 chevy equinox

[@chuylalo96]

So in order to add transmission fluid to this vehicle you have to remove one of the the lower motor mounts and then there is a transmission dip stick which holds it with a screw. Then you get 1 inch hose I believe with a funnel on the end and that’s how you add it. I will have to find the link to the video so you can see it.

[@chuylalo96]

[@marianaescamilla00]

Next time i drive and if I have the same problem I’ll do the same thing, mate!

[@yeyoduarte3338]

What about my impala ? I have problems just when is raining 🌧

[@chuylalo96]

I would not know on that man! Maybe a corroded ground wire? Try and locate your ground wire and see if it properly grounded. Most times it needs direct contact with bare metal.

[@AX-hq7zh]

GM probably hates you for making this video! If you happen to go missing we here will all know why! They rather charge you 1000+ to fix something so easy! I own the 08 sport . I spent alot of money on replacing the timing chain! Shouldn't happen on a car with such low mileage. I'm hoping someone steals it to be honest! Last GM I will ever buy thats for sure.

[@enriquezflaco]

Puta madre yo si pague los 300😂

[@marianaescamilla00]

Luis Enriquez 😂😂😂

[@joseportillo4469]

Show a video where is located the steering wheel fluid

[@chuylalo96]

There is no steering fluid sir. It is an electronic power steering motor which is located under the steering wheel.

[@keithg6275]

Electric

[@michaelducat1586]

Because I had the same problem

[@BOBOYElectricMusic]

It went off only cuz u turned off the car cuz usually when this happens I turn of car and turn on again it work good for few days maybe weeks the it happens randomly so what u did is nothing bro it’s just cuz the car was turned off then on again that’s all loool

[@chuylalo96]

My service stabiltrak lights up once in a while but I don’t happen to lose power steering. I drive 40 miles daily. Don’t know why the light comes up. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@sentidocomun7675]

@@chuylalo96 I have the same issue with 07 Malibu and it keeps coming back randomly few weeks to few months.

[@chuylalo96]

sentido comun ; Honestly don’t know what the issue might be! Maybe the PCM need to be reprogrammed? God knows. Same happened to me, light comes up once in a while but then turns off; I do not lose power steering though!
