I was backing up and heard a noise like something popped, then my right wheel was stuck in a turned position. It won’t do nothing when I turn my steering wheel, but the left tire works just fine.

Hello,

This could be a problem with the tie rod end on that side of the vehicle. You will need to get underneath your vehicle and visually inspect to see what is going on, but I would pay special attention to the tie rod end which sounds like it could have sheered in two. I have included a few links for you to go to down below:

I have also included a exploded diagram of your vehicle's power steering assembly in the diagrams down below, Please go through these guides and get back to us with what you are able to find out.

Thanks,
