I have a 1999 Lumina LTZ and the the Power Steering reservoir was impossible to find. Much like the other components in this monster 3800 engine like the battery hidden under the washer fluid....the power steering reservoir is located underneath the alternator. Be careful that when you remove the cap you don't get debris from the top into the reservoir.
The best place to find a schematic for the steering column is in a FACTORY SHOP MANUAL available from AUTOBOOKSONLINE.COM or MOTORLIT.COM.
Could be the starter.
on the car its fairly simple disconnect battery. use 3\8 drive ratchet put in the auto tensioner arm for serpentine belt and lift up remove belt. remove bolts going to wish bone mounts at front of engine. tilt engine forward. disconnect wire harness to alternator{should be 10mm} remove bolt from bracket at bottom of alternator. tilt alternator up and remove bolt from bottom back. hope this helped.
I had a similar problem turns out the Alternator was bad.
I have a Lumina too and most commonly its 3 coil packs
Integrated into the power steering pump on the top passenger side of the engine.
It is below the alternator and kind of hard to see.
Find the pump. It is easy to find because it is driven by the serpentine belt or a separate drive belt. Fluid is checked and added at the power steering pump reservoir. If the reservoir is not mounted on the pump, follow the hoses from the pump to the reservoir.
The power steering receptacle should be on top left side of the motor in front of the alternator in a black box with a cap on the 3.1L V6
there is no alternator on the 1992 Lumina its all electric, so there is no need for one.
How to remove steering wheel on Chevy lumina 2000
Yes
The alternator on a 95 Chevy Lumina 3.4l is replaced by disconnecting the wiring harness, loosening the retaining bolts, and removing the serpentine belt. The alternator can then be unbolted, removed, and a new alternator installed.
NO.
The main pulley on which the serpentine belt goes on in a 1997 Chevy Lumina LTZ is the crankshaft pulley. The crankshaft pulley plays a role in the wheels turning and powering the alternator and power steering pump.
On top of ther battery
have the alternator and the battery checked
