Power steering pump failure
Hi guys. I'm having a problem with my '94 Deville. I looked around the forum a bit, and decided to join. I'm hoping to learn some stuff here. Here's my problem. About 2 months ago, the psp failed. I replaced it with a rebuilt. Yesterday, that one failed also. It was under warranty, so I got another, and installed it today. I put fluid in it, started it, and added a bit more as the level dropped. It was making some noise, which I expected until it was bled. Even after turning the steering wheel left and right several times, it was still noisy. I felt the pump, and it was quite hot, after only running for about 2 minutes. ( the ambient temp was only about 10 degrees). I shut it off, and the fluid in the reservoir was bubbling, almost like it was boiling. Any ideas? The only thing I can think of is maybe some frozen moisture somewhere in the system so it can't circulate.
