so last night i changed my oil filter, fuel filter and oil. that went good and it took 2 dead batteries and a jump to get her started again .. but then this little red light came on next to my steering wheel, and it has no writing or anything by it and my power brakes dont work . I was thinking the power steering fluid could be low.. idk what else ny sugestions???

 

well first of all the power steering doesn't have anything to do with your brakes!

 

The power steering actually does have something to do with the brakes, trust me I know... We were out screwing around and I hit the slope of a hill and and took out my power steering pump and not only did I lose my steering but I lost my brakes once all of the fluid drained.

 

oh ****!my bad,i didn't think about that,early mornings!

 

Wait a 95 shouldn't have hydroboost that wasn't til 97 I thought niether my 95 or 96 have hydroboost did you look and see if you knocked a vaccum line off when you were changin the fuel filter

i do believe it wasnt till 97 when they introduced the hydro booster off the power stearing pump. 94-97 used vacuum at the brake booster

 

yeh i talked to some diesel tech guys at work n they said check the vacuum lines... i can't find the power steering resivor (spelling?? ha). does nybody know where it is??

 

where you put the fluid in? you have to be talkin about some thin else

 

nvm i found what i was lookin for.. does power steering fluid ever have to be changed??

i just opened my fuse box under the hood and noticed that im missing 2 fuses, 1 is called ABS pump (40amp) and the other is ABS pump relay... is that why i dont have ny power brakes??

 

That's why the brake light and abs light are on but that shouldn't be why you don't have any brakes I still say vaccum line but I could be wrong
