Power Steering How do I know which fuse to replace for the power steering on my 2003 Saturn Ion?

power steering indicator still on. ??????? Did you check for codes ? Power asst replace ?????? Electric motor under the dash below the steering column ? Control module ??? Was it programmed ? Who replaced the power asst ????

There has to be a place to put more fluid in.........
The light that is on your dash isn't power steering.......
Check your owners manual for what that light really is.

Pretty sure there is a recall on the year and model for power steering problem, check the manufacture if having issues.

My power steering went out on a 2007 ion. I took it to a GM dealership with Goodwrench service repair. There was a recall & they fixed it FREE. I haven't had a problem since. That was oct 2011.

On this website you find fuse box diagram diagram and description for Saturn ION (2004)

The problem may due to absence of steering pump. You get all details regarding Saturn ion Steering pump at http://www.steeringpumps.com/saturn-steering-pump/

It may be that this car has electric power steering, look under das driver side see if there is an electric motor attached to the steering column

it is more than likley the power steer pump not pumping or the belt is broken

The motor on the power steering is overheating which causes the thermal overloads to trip.

go tho the junk yard and buy a motor for a 2004 thru 206 ion or a 2004 thru 2008 chevy colbalt.

they are all the same. You may have to buy the wholle steering colum but you can remove the motor with 2 - 12mm bolts and a quick dissconnect pulg. Replace just the motor as the whole steering colum is a bit more complicated. the dealerships want you to replace the whoe steering colum, in fact that is the only way they sell the parts. It is a scam. Just the motor needs to be replaced.
I have done it on 4 different ions. try to get a motor with few as possible miles and as new as possible. I have paid between $50 and $125 for these. The dealer wants $900 fnad about $500 to install. It is very simple to do. Only 2 bolts.

I have a 2006 Saturn ION as well and the PWR STR light came on and the power steering went out. When i turn off the car and turn back on it's fine for a while but goes out again in a day or so. I called Saturn and they said it is the power steering which is electric and to fix it i would have to replace the whole steering column! If it is not the fuses which i haven't checked yet then it will cost me $850.00 to replace. that's not counting whatever else they find and charge me for. I was looking under 2004 Saturn Ion and they have a lot of the same issues. I don't know where to look for the fuses at though I'm thinking under the steering wheel if anyone knows please let me know.

Thanks

Mom!
