The Power Steering is actually ELECTRIC steering on this car Most common and basically only failure is 2 30 amp fuses in underhood fuse block Only other thing is mechanical and would set a trouble code and sat power steering on your dash
FYI. Jump Starting your car from the +- Terminals found near the FUSE box under the hood, will Blow the Fuses for the Power Steering.
Always Jump start your car from the Battery Terminals in the Trunk
I don't know if you will get this, but there has now been a recall issued for the 2004 Saturn Ion regarding failures in the power steering. Contact your Saturn dealer; they may be providing a free repair.
Could be a worn belt, failing power steering pump or low power steering fluid.
Could be a broken Power Steering belt or low fluid level or power steering pump failure.
there is no fluid, they have electric power steering.
no. mine does not have power steering and it's a 1999 sl1
There probably is no power steering fluid in the 05 Saturn. Saturn employs an electric assisted power steering system that still has a rack and pinion, but is electrically operated. A much easier, more bulletproof design in my opinion.
To replace the power steering rack on a Saturn Ion, You must first dissmantle the current steering rack by accessing the main hood, and from there you can screw the new steering rack into place
The power strg unit is in the column yes....It is electric power strg. The steering rack remains the same
Failure of the Power Steering system.
Failure of the power steering system.
I have a 2006 Ion - the power steering went out. My dealer said that this was a common problem - Saturn was working on a recall. They took care of replacing the steering column - no charge.
Yes, most of all modles of any car comes with power steering.
The power steering reservoir is on the passenger side behind the engine compartment.
