have vehicle scanned for trouble code --you have an electric assist motor mounted to steering column behind dash that is your power steering pump sort to say this is a recall notice you can call and check if your vehicle was done or is a listed vehicle https://auto-recalls.justia.com/saturn/ion/2004/14v153000/index.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14By80EyQT0
power steering indicator still on. ??????? Did you check for codes ? Power asst replace ?????? Electric motor under the dash below the steering column ? Control module ??? Was it programmed ? Who replaced the power asst ????
There has to be a place to put more fluid in.........
The light that is on your dash isn't power steering.......
Check your owners manual for what that light really is.
We were having problems with my son's 2004 Saturn Ion. The first thing that started flashing was the power steering warning, so fixed that by replacing the fuses. It kept flashing and then the coolant light came on and it wouldn't start. The battery was fine and well charged. We finally asked a friend who manages a vehicle service center for assistance. The Ion has a standard transmission and that was the problem. After only 15 minutes, they found the clutch switch was just a little loose. So they tightened it and the car popped right off and all the flashing warning lights disappeared. An easy fix but the car sat in our garage for 6 weeks as we couldn't find the solution!
the electric steering column is going bad,you need a new steering column,,,typicial ion problem,youre gonna have to go to the dealer,,rather expensive for the parts, over $300
I used to own a 2005 Cobalt SS supercharged, basicaly the same thing as an Ion Redline. I know that on my car, there is an electric power steering pump, rather than a belt driven. If you have to same system, there may be an electrical problem causing the power steering to stop working and start again after turning off and starting the car again. If you are still under warenty, I would recomend taking your car to the dealership.
