Power steering fluid??

Energized through a relay wired to the ignition switch.

have you put a different type of power steering fluid?

in some instance, if they put a different type of fluid, the solution bubbles up and makes a whining noise when you use the car.

Use power steering fluid on BMWs and Benz.

The power steering resover is under the alternator on these model cars your going to have look for it.

If the fluid was completely empty, you may still have air in the system. Whining is not good. It means low fluid and could burn out the power steering pump in short order. Turn off the car, Add fluid (DON'T OVER FILL), start the car, turn the wheel a LITTLE bit right and left a couple times to get the air out. Shut off the car, recheck fluid, add and repeat until full. If you still have the whining and no Power Steering, you are FOOKED...

The power steering fluid reservoir is located on the left side of the engine compartment behind the battery.

This is wrong!!!! This will destroy your car. The power sterring fluid say ATF only, putting power sterring in it will destroy the steering.

Perhaps you would do it like this simple scheme.

theres a plastic reservoir located on the side of the engine wall look at the cap it should say power steering fluid on it .....

it is some benz models where built to be self sufficient try looking on www.haynesrepairmanuals.com
