2008 Equinox steering quit. It was the mega 80 fuse, and a $6.00 fix. I have NEVER boosted anyone, so not sure what happened. Will see if it goes again but sure hope it was just a one time incident.
It is possible that when the place doing the oil change attempted to replace the headlight bulb that they might have disconnected a wiring harness or shorted something out when they attempted to disconnect wiring to replace the bulb. Now I believe the Equinox has electric steering so an electrical problem could cause the power steering loss. I would check all the fuses in the fuse box and verify that there are not any that are burned out. If all the fuses are good then you will need to take it to the dealership and have them inspect it. You could also visually look under the bumber where the headlight is and see if you notice any loose or disconnected wiring connections. Hopefully it is something as simple as a fuse. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Are all the fuses ok or did you find any burned out?
If all the fuses are good then it is more than likely that they caused the problem. Proving it is another issue. Take it to the dealership for inspection. They may find evidence that the problem was caused by the place that did your oil change. Then you could go back to them with the information so they can pay the cost of the repairs if there are any. I really doubt it is more than just a coincedence that the problem happened right after thet worked on it.
When you pull the fuse you can see if the little wire inside the fuse is burned out or broken.

No power steering and service stabilitrak light was on...... AWD and only had power to the front wheels. End result needed a new power steering motor. The motor controls the stabilitrak along with the power steering.
