My chevy lumina won't turn on anymore after I added power steering fluid. I became unable to steer my car while on the highway so I bought new fluid and added it. It turned on at first, now it won't. The engine won't even make a sound when I try to power it on. What did I do do my car. (I'm not sure about the engine size) I had to use all of my strength to turn my car even the slightest bit while pulling off the highway

The power steering fluid should have nothing to do with the engine not starting.
Check the gear ****f position, try Neutral if Park does not work.
Check battery and starter.
