    steering loss while making a right turn

    Hello everyone. This evening, I took a drive to the market for grocery when all of a sudden while making a right turn (normal casual turn) the car would not turn at all even though I was turning the steering wheel. Luckily, it was not a busy area so I was able to stop dead center of the street. All the lights on dash were turned on so I turned off the engine and restarted the car and regained all steering function. I will be checking steering fluid tomorrow and trouble shoot from there. I was wondering if anyone has had something similar happen to them and what solutions they came up with. Any helpful input is welcome and thank you for your feedback in advance.

    BTW the vehicle is a 2006 evo 9 mr with a little over 60K on the odometer.

    Based on all the lights coming on, it sounds like the engine stalled, killing the PS pump.

    Is the car modified at all? Stock BOV?

    +1 on the stall. could be also power-related (alternator/battery) that caused the engine stall. PS fluid is the least of your worries.
