I recently had my power steering belt off for some maintenance, and after re-installing my belt my power steering is malfunctioning.

When I start the car up I hear no squeak or annoying noises from the belt, however, when I attempt to turn the steering wheel left to right I hear the belt squeak badly and my steering wheel does not turn.

I'm guessing I have the belt on too loose?

My reservoir has power steering fluid in it and nothing is leaking.

Thanks,

 

Check the slack and tighten as needed

 

So the belt is loose and that is the culprit causing the power steering not working?

 

doesnt it make sense? if its not functioning properly.. ur p/s doesnt function properly. i have no p/s belt on but p/s pump and all that jazz still there. no p/s tho, its more fun cuz im young.

 

yeah but everyt ime you steer the fluid still flows............but do what i did get rid of it........just loop it together

 

or you can do it right like mgags write up... look it up
