I put a new sterring colum in my 1998 dodge ram 1...

You can order one through the dealership(pay a small fortune) or auto body shop. If your not worried about the color, call around to the junk yards, they may have one in a truck there. You can also check on-line at auto junk yards. cheaper than the shops, color is not a option there most times. hope this helps

I have the same problem, I've replaced the pump/hoses 5 times I'm thinking that it might be the steering box now

oil level in tank too low so air getting into system,the pump not generating the pressure.the seals on the rams worn the steering colum plate which moves the pump activaters

diconnnect the ignition box under the dash were all the main sterring wires go big box hooked to bottom of sterring colum unbolt it turn the key cyilinder to the on and press the leaver sticking out of the box you can turn it on and off till you get another it will work trust me

It's misfiring. Replace spark plugs and plug wires.

Should be located above break peddel next to steering colume under dash.

wiggle sterring column back and forth while turning key. You can also take shifter and wiggle up past park

you need to check the wiper motor relay too and iuf it checks out then using a test light probe the hot wire to the wiper motor and see if it is hot and lights up while the ignition is on and the wiper switch is activated. if you get a light then you have a bad motor, if not and the relay tested good then you have a bad switch. if the switch checks out and the relay checks out but still no power at the motor with a test light then you have to trace back the power wire ti find the bad spot.

if you are refering to the ignition switch, put the key in the ignition and turn it to "on".  Do not start the car.  there should be a hole on the bottom of the column below the ignition switch.  Stick a long skinny object, such as an unbent paper clip into that hole.  There is a littlle "button" that you have to depress and pull the switch out.

its either the tensioner or the idler pulley they have bearings in them that lock up when they go bad or they start to sqeek when there going bad
