As I drive down the road my power steering will just stopped working. If I recycle the ignition "shut it off and restart it" the steering has its power assist again. Some days this happens more than others. Any ideas?

Hello,

This could be a problem with your vehicle's Electric Power Steering Module which is located behind the lower left of the dash and is attached to the steering wheel. This module helps steering by providing power assist, more at lower speeds and less at higher speeds.
I have included in the diagrams down below all the information about this module, location, wiring diagram, and connector end views for you to use. Please look for any obvious damage and please check the ground from this module, Make sure that it is clean, corrosion free, tight, and making good metal to metal contact. Please get back to us with what you are able to find out.

Thanks,
Alex
