A few months ago, my power steering light began to come on. I took it to several places only for everyone to tell me that the car does not take power steering fluid and that they would have to hook the car to a computer to see what is wrong. Every so often, i would crank the car and have a hard time steering. I learned that when that happens, i could turn off the ignition and restart the car and the power steering…
