My power steering system in Equinox 2007 just stopped to work without any reason. I tried to find solutions and found out that there was no dedicated fuse for it. Which means that it is under the computes's control. What should we do with any computer first if we have problems? That's correct - restart it! :-)
I disconnected the battery for 30 seconds and voila - no issue with power steering anymore. No expensive parts, no 80 amp fuse replacement, no service of any kind :-)
SOURCE: How do I add power steering fluid to 2005 chevy equinox?
first and it's sort of obvious... make sure the motor is off.... look for a cap at the front of the motor where the fan belt is... may even be labled power steering ... you add the fluid there

check fuse .if fuse good you got a bad ground.

The Chevy Equinox has an 80 Amp mega fuse that tends to fail and cause all sort of power steering and Stabilitrak issues. Before I messed with the belts or power steering pumps, I would check the fuse first.

CHECK FOR BLOWN FUSE ALSO CHECK AUXILIARY DRIVE BELTS FOR TENTION AND WARE.
SOURCE: 2007 Equinox. No power steering,
Had same problem, went to work everything was fine, then got in vehicle getting ready for lunch......no power steering and service stabilitrak light came on. End result was power steering motor needed replaced. Motor controls the power to the rear wheels along with the power steering.

The Body Control module (BCM) detects that the traction control switch has been pressed (signal circuit is low). The Body Control module (BCM) sends a serial data message to the EBCM in order to disable traction control. The IPC receives a serial data message from the EBCM requesting illumination. The BCM sends a serial data message to the radio in order to activate an audible warning.
Your best bet is to take it to a ASE certified an qualified repair shop ,that has the diagnostic tool to fix this problem .
