Niznits Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 I got an 05 LGT. Driving this morning, everything is fine. Go to make a left turn and the battery light and brake light come on and my steering goes. I was able to drive back home but you need to go to the gym before you can turn the steering wheel. Can anyone tell me what the problem might be? And if they think its covered under the warranty.thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehsnils Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Belt for alternator and servo pump that has jumped/broken. Open hood and see if the belt is broken or missing. Otherwise - check if alternator and servo pump are running when the engine is running. It can be that the crankshaft pulley for some reason has lost contact with the axle, but that's not common so I suspect the belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt65 Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 sounds like what happened to me when my harmonic balancer went, look at your belts are they pushed out at the bottom ? if so chances are thats your luck, do it your self bout 80 bucks + belts and about an hour of your time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schwinn Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Harmonic balancer? Last I heard, the Boxer engine doesn't have/need one... the crankshaft pulley is just a pulley... no rubber/harmonic balancer components in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naimouasta Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 check power steering fluid if its low. also check brake fluid. i know that when brake fluid is low, if you do hard turns, stop, go fast, the brake light comes on and off because its sloshing around. so i'm guessing maybe the power steering is similar. check its level, and if its leaking anywhere.
