Power steering

Does anyone know if there is a power steering fuse? Looked under bonnet at the two fuse holders and cant see one..

 

Problem I'm having is that the steering has gone stiff. It's does work kind of but very stiff. I have drained as much fluid as i can but couldn't get to the rear hicas unit as I haven't got a ramp and mine is very low. I have refilled with ATF 3 and there is no air blockage but the steering is still stiff. Also the belt was removed for the oil pump 're fit and the mechanic assures me the belts are tight And tensioned correctly.

    Did u unplug both plugs on the hicas ecu if u unplug one it takes away the hicas light but if u unplug the other it makes steering heavy...

    Pump could be failing, although generally that'd cause it to feel notchy.

    Check to make sure the UJ hasn't started to seize.

    Universal Joint. if you get under the car and along the rear of the front subframe you will find your steering rack...towards the right..being rhd you will find the UJ connecting your steering wheel/shaft to the rack.
