FC power steering died...help?

[davidkerryedwards]

Sorry, I don't have a lot of ideas. You could check to see if the fluid is
circulating by either
looking thru the dipstick hole or loosening the large bolt on the center of the
reservoir
while the engine is running. Be warned that if it is circulating, fluid will
shoot out of the
central bolt hole when it is removed.
Perhaps a hose has collapsed internally, stopping the flow of fluid.
