- Check the power steering fluid level and add more if it's low. The fluid reservoir is located in the engine bay, near the front of the car.
- Look for any leaks in the power steering system. Power steering fluid leaks can cause the power steering to stop working. Leaks can be caused by a damaged hose or a faulty seal.
- Check the power steering belt. If the belt is loose, cracked, or broken, it will need to be replaced.
- If the power steering fluid level is correct, there are no leaks, and the belt is fine, then the problem may be with the power steering pump. The power steering pump is responsible for providing pressure to the power steering system. If the pump is faulty, it will need to be replaced.
If you are not comfortable checking or fixing these things on your own, you should take your car to a mechanic for diagnosis and repair. Driving without power steering can be dangerous, so it's important to get it fixed as soon as possible.
