Crank and cam signals probably out of sync with each other

Fuse box should look like the one shown on these pages:

The longer single row of fuses is #31-46 (46 is closest to the double row of fuses).


Hope this helps!

With the hood open and the engine running, have someone turn the wheel so you can spot the power steering gear box. There will be two lines from that box leading up to the power steering pump. That pump is driven by the serpentine belt. Atop that pump there will be the filler cap you are looking for.

Hope that helps.

power steer belt/tensioners always break, but could also be down on power steer fluid (leaking on driveway?)

micro switch may have failed. have a very close look in the door latch fixed to the car...there should be a very small square pressable switch.. open the door and press your finger inside the latch against the little button, the window should drop and raise. If you dont have one there its on the inside of the door lock mechanism.

bad electrical signal to the pump. pumps thinks its going fast. the valve that controls the fluid flow to make steeering stiffer at higher speeds is confused.

use electrical contact cleaner and d-electric grease to fix contact problems.
pop the hood and cleans as many connections as possible, let dry and apply a small amount of di-electric grease to those connections, then re-connect the plugs. even do the dme connections to the main wiring harness.

this will solve many electrical contact problems seen in older cars.
