Your Cobalt is not equiooed with a Power Steering Pump. It has electric power steering. See the description below.

Power Steering - System Description and Operation
The electric power steering (EPS) system reduces the amount of effort needed to steer the vehicle. The system uses the body control module (BCM), power steering control module (PSCM), torque sensor, discrete battery voltage supply circuit, EPS motor, serial data bus, and the instrument panel cluster (IPC) message center to perform the system functions. The PSCM, torque sensor, not the EPS motor are serviced separately from each other or from the steering column. Any EPS components diagnosed to be malfunctioning requires replacement of the steering column assembly, also known as the EPS assembly.

you don't
these cars have ELECTRIC POWER STEERING

I fully agree.

Yes your absolutly right.
I have a 2006 Cobalt and my power steering completly failed. And this isn't a cheap fix. A quote of over $700 for a steering column replacement because these cars run electronic steering. Unless your under warrenty start searching salvage yards for working steering columns.

YOU HAVE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRONIC STEERING COLUMN. YOU NEED TO HAVE THE SYSTEM CHECKED FOR CODES AND GO FROM THERE.

the 2005 chevy cobalt uses electronic power steering therefore does not require any fluids unless you want to add some lubrication to the steering column at rub points if you have any.
