power steering goin out..?

[HAMMY55]

Well I disabled the ESP on my Charger today, so of course I had to test it out....bad idea...

I was doing some classic donuts in an empty parking lot, and when i was done my power steering wasn't working too well, drove around a bit and its still the same, almost seems like I have low power steering fluid, but the fluid level is fine

anyone have any ideas?

Fluid in the engine bay? Doing donuts in these cars is a bad idea, my car is in the shop waiting for a new pump because I grenaded the pump doing the same thing. The resevoir was full immediately after the pump going, but emptied fairly soon after.

Cam carries a spare PS pump in his car I hear;)

[BUTWEET]

I have to concure with the blown PS pump theory as well. (And fog light issues?) :doh:

[HAMMY55]

yes very bad idea haha, ill check the fluid again in a bit, thanks for the info.

[Wellsy]

Check for wetness in the engine bay...double check the power steering fluid, yuck what a mess...did your fog lights go out soon after?

[HAMMY55]

no fog lights was something else, i was working on installing my HIDs when I got bored and decided to disable ESP and have some stupid fun.

ok fluid is at the same level its always been, so that's ok, and I didn't notice any leak on the ground or in the engine bay.

Im gonna bring it to the dealer tomorrow, but does anyone think it would be really bad if I drove a little bit tonight, I have a hockey game I gotta get to.

It will build up those guns:)

PM Cam, he really does carry an extra pump rumor has it... I'm sure he can tell you why.

[HAMMY55]

I could use a nice work out haha, Ill PM him and see what he says.
