What would cause Power Steering go out? - Honda Prelude Forum

Dongoesby · 12-23-2005, 08:05 PM

I was doing interior swap, changing fog and headlight bulb last couple days. When I tried to drive my car today, I found out the steering wheel was not turning, so my guess is steering wheel is gone. What would be happened to it? I have checked all the fuses, and they are okay. Really need help!

open the hood. it is the first 'accessory' on the top right foward part of the motor. it has a thin belt going from the pulley on the right side of it to the crank pulley below.

pic:

this is a h22a in the pic, but its the same for all motors. the power steering pump is the one circled in red. the belt is to the right of the pulley and attached to the pump. very easy to find.

thanks guys, and yep, that is the dummy problem, it took me 30 minz to fix, cuz i have to take off the pulley unit (3 bolts) and then reinstall it. The belt was very tough thing. Thanks again, I don't have to take it to a shop
