Noise from the power steering when pressing my brake pedal?

I have a 2005 Ford 250 diesel, after some hard braking I'm now experiencing a lot of p/s noise when applying the brakes and p/s is limited. P/S hardly works unless I raise my rpm to aprox 2000. Any advice would be great

Did you check the P/S fluid level? The power brakes and the P/S both operate from the P/S pump. If it's full, you might want to change the fluid. No easy way to do that, unfortunately. Sometimes just letting it sit overnight and cooling off can make it work again the next day.

  • WHAT WRONG? No lecture$. LHF brakes metal to metal week+ Today pedal goes to floor No brake power until almost bottom out Fluid not low? 05 AWD Ford Freestyle. Besides grinding all around brakes were fine. Now noise is close to negligible. Replacing Front pads/rotors tomorrow. A must to bleed now? Air in system? Caliper?
  • How to start car without pressing Clutch? 2004 Ford Ranger. I lost the use of the fingers on my right hand. Could someone tell me how to start truck with only the left hand. Ignition on right side of steering column. I put it in neutral with parking brake on. I turn the key from the left side, but can't press the clutch down. Is there a way to start this truck from passenger side with left hand without pressing clutch and then walk around to drivers side, get in and drive.

  • How to fix brake pedal without bleeding brakes? A car got in my lane so I pushed on the brake hard, now my brake pedal goes super low. I've done it before and a mechanic friend reversed and accelerated in my driveway, this fixed the brake going low problem (my brakes were super firm). I do not remember exactly what he did though and he's not available. My brake pads also still have half their lives. My brake fluid is also full and still has its light color. My car is a 2009 Ford Fusion Sel. What do I do?
