2011 F150 XL Power Steering All Of A Sudden Went Out.

Last night everything was fine and today when I started driving my power steering was all messed up. It turns ok at first but if i need to make any sort of serious turn it takes both hands. i would like to try and diagnose and fix this myself but i am very limited in terms of my knowledge and know how. help!

Check your power steering fluid.

Please excuse my utter ignorance but I believe I have electric power steering. Would I still have power steering fluid? Again, I am very new to cars to please excuse my lack of knowledge!

Well, you didn't post what type of engine you had. The 6.2l has a power steering pump.

The fuse that controls the electronic power steering is fuse #52, 5 amp in the fuse box under the hood. Also the MEGA fuse (125 amp) in the same fuse box, supplied power to the electric steering rack.

Good luck.
