Power steering went...

My 2005 6 cyl. has been sitting for most of last year with some serious issues, particularly bad frame rust. I drove it last month and the steering was fine, but yesterday the power steering was gone. I changed tre fluid last year, one of the last things I did to it. Why might it go suddenly like that?

Is the belt slipping on the pump? Any noises?

Is there any fluid in it? It's common for the pipes under the radiator to rust. I just scabbed in a piece of pipe on mine last week because of this.

Arghhh. I looked again and the serpentine belt had snapped. This car has 266k and bad rust on the frame (with a hole in one part). It may be nearing its lifespan.

That'll do it. Make sure everything spins freely before putting a new belt on. The alternator on these sits so low they can freeze up from lack of use and end the life of your belt. Guess how I know.

Sometimes, people open the hood and troubleshoot before they post.
