A: GM has had a couple of different problems that are steering related. Internal steering box problems have been an issue. The power steering in both vehicles is computer monitored and controlled. If a sensor is failing or reporting erroneous information the Power Steering Control Module (PSCM) can make adjustments that will change the level of power assist provided. The PSCM is just making decisions based on information that it deems reliable. If you're experiencing changes in the steering effort you should have a technician verify that there are no diagnostic trouble codes for the steering system. Also be aware that there is a GM Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) # 86-32-06 for diagnosis of a faulty steering wheel speed sensor that will not set a diagnostic trouble code but will cause the power steering assist to change. Pinning down erratic steering problems on today's vehicles is more than checking the fluid or adjusting the drive belt.

Just bought a 1997 chevy 1500 silverado and the ABS Lock light is on - whats wrong

One common cause for the ABS alarm is a defective wheel speed sensor. Often a small soft wire attached to the axle side if the wheel hub knuckle. The sensor can be a magnetic reed relay that senses a magnet mounted to the hub. Each revolution of the hub it passes the reed relay, the relay makes or breaks to cause a change in the signal. The sensor lead wire is in a very exposed location and I'm amazed they last as long as they do.

Chevy steering wheel controls

You first have to disarm and remove the air bag (unscrews with bolts from behind the steering wheel) and then you will see the screws for the switches. Only the silverado awitches will work.
