If you own a 2013 Dodge Ram 1500, you might notice a decrease in power to your power steering system. To address this issue, you should inspect the power steering fuse for any faults. Begin by opening the hood at the front of your vehicle and locating the battery near the engine block. The fuse should be connected to the positive terminal on top. If you find that the fuse is defective, it will need to be replaced. The cost of a new fuse alone ranges from $30 to $88, while professional labor for replacement can range from $50 to $140.

The 125-amp fuse is positioned on the positive battery terminal and has two small bolts that resemble spots for attaching jumper cables. Many mistakenly connect their jumper cables there, leading to blowing the fuse and assuming they require a costly $1000 power steering system replacement. However, the actual fix is just a $40 fuse replacement (still pricey for a fuse!). Additionally, there is a separate 10-amp fuse for the EPS connected to the ECM, likely related to a sensor rather than the main fuse for the system. I discovered this when mistakenly grounding things while fixing a radiator fan - quite frustrating. Blame it on the faulty design, engineers aren't always perfect.
