94 Plymouth Voyager minivan = power steering problem

N. Nayar 10 April 2005 23:58:06
 Recently, I drove my old 94 Voyager minivan into a deep puddle of water
which was on the right side of the van i.e. only the right side/tires of
the van went into the puddle. As the minivan emerged from the puddle,
the "check gages" lite went on, and after a few seconds, the power
steering completely failed. Luckily, I am six feet and quite strong
enough to turn the steering wheel without the power steering. However,
driving the $%$#@ van now is scary. Any help on what I can do to fix the
problem? Please email me at nnayar"at"ptd.net (please replace the "at"
with the @ sign, or post in this forum.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your help.

Yea, your belt fell off, check for proper alignment of the belt tensioner
and if it is seized or crooked replace both the belt and tensioner. The belt
drives the alternator and water pump, if you continue to drive it... it will
overheat

 Glenn - You called it! The belt was totally off!!!
When I reached in to try and wiggle it back, it came out in my hands.
Now,... what do I do? Is there anything I can do to put it back on?
Or does it need professional help? How difficult is it to put it back on?
Many thanks.

If you are not familiar with the set up, I would have someone else put it
back on for you that knows the system, that way they can see if it is in
proper alignment, otherwise it will fall off again
