I was doing some wiring for my LED's in my 05 Cobalt LT and when I got in the car to drive, the steering wheel seem to seize up and it definetly fealt like my power steering **** out on me. Since I was doing electrical work, do you think I may of blown a fuse for the power steering? Can someone lead me in the right direction as to where the hell the fuse is?


I gotta fix this asap, I need to get to work tomorrow!

So I think I located the fuse....I believe its the EPS (the only 60amp fuse) but it looks fine. Power steering is gone, I tried disconnecting the battery and re-connecting it. NOTHING. What the hell would cause something like this to happen?

 

did you do any soldering? I had a problem like this when I painted my dash pieces. turns out there was a tiny bit too much of solder on my fog light switch (i accidentally ripped out the little light bulb inside of the switch when I disconnected it to paint it) that was causing my block to eat the fuse. therefore I lost all of my interior lights. check your solder connections and make sure they aren't too heavy

 

nope no soldering, i just spliced together quick release clips... that way I could tear it apart if I fucked something up....prime example.


I'm not blowing anymore fuses, the only reason I did was because I shorted out the line by touching the two live ends together.

 

what fuses did you blow? like what were they for?

 

haha your hittin up all my posts. 6(AMP, 20a) and 26 (Dr Lock, 15a)

 

haha yea, i just saw this thread. see other thread for what i said haha

 

So i just swapped all the EPS fuses out with my sisters LT, nothing happened. I have come to the conclusion that it is NOT a fuse problem. And therefore I dunno what the **** it is, so I'm gonna get drunk and call the dealership in the morning.
