Subject:      Electric Power Steering in my 81 Westy
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"

Good morning from Vancouver, BC Canada.


I have an 81 Westfalia Vanagon that has electric power steering, which was
fantastic when it worked! Recently, while my mechanic was replacing my
ignition switch, my power steering stopped working.


Did the component fail? If so, how can you tell? Or did the mechanic mess
with the wiring and could that be the reason it's not working.


Do these Power Steering units require any kind of maintenance?


I've also noticed that over the last few months without power steering,
there seems to be more battery strength. I normally have to keep my van
plugged in, so it starts up. Was told I had a parasitic battery leak. Could
this be coming from the Power Steering?

Blessings!
