    my power steering isnt 100% working. Recently changed the p.s belt, didnt help ( even tho the old belt was completely worn)
    I dont think it has to do with the power steering fluid. I heard that when the fluid is low, a sound is headrd when the steering wheel is at full lock? I havent heard any of this...
    Occasionally... but not very often, the power steering will come back on, but only for around 10 seconds.. usually when i first start up my car...

    Please share ideas on what it could be :br:[TIS]

    solenoid on the steering rack is playing up.

    could be a simple connector problem, or the solenoid needs replacing.

    get under the car, this is on the driver's side.

    When i say its not 100%, it works like 80%... so the car is okay to drive, its just uncomfortable, and i want to fix it.

    ...which means your solenoid is ok 80% of the time, 20% of the time it's not working.

    Mine does the same thing, it stops working sometimes, decides to kick in and lighten the steering mid corner which is dangerous.

    I just unplugged it so it's heavy all the time. If you cbf replacing it, this is the best solution.
