If that's the only thing that stopped working,most likely it either lost a lot of fluid,or the gearbox failed.
If the steering wheel is really easy to turn,but the wheels don't,it's most likely mechanical.

    It could also be the pulley on the pump that the belt turns,that would include it being pretty impossible to turn with the steering wheel.

I have a vw jetta gli 2003 and the steering stopped working a few days ago. i found out from my mechanic that he will need to replace the racket pinon steering unit. he said it's going to cost around 2,000...

If there is no oil leak from the steering rack,check the first power steering oil pump.But if the steering wheel doesn.t turn at all-change steering rack.

I replaced my altenator a week ago. Now my power

There are several possibilities.
1. power steering pump locked up or locking up (extremely low fluid could cause this)
2. a random pully could have locked up and caused the belt to break, resulting in a loss of power steering.

Hope this helps

Airbag light comes on.

Just got my car back from the garage for this exact problem. It started about 3 months ago. The airbag light would go on for no reason. I did notice when this would happen my power windows would not work. All of a sudden it would come back on and everything would be fine. When I took it in the first time the garage coulnt find anything wrong. Then it got cold. Three days ago as I was driving I adjusted my steering wheel and the air bag light came on. Only this time I had my heater on and the heater went off and once again the windows would not work. I moved my steering wheel again and the light went off, the heater came back on and the windows worked again. All of a sudden the airbag light came on and this time it stayed on. Now I had no heat. I took it in and they said for some reason the wires in the steering wheel were being pinched and shorting and this short was had also caused the ignition switch to go bad, which also had to be replaced for the second time in a year. I got my car back, but you can be assured I will not be adjusting the steering wheel. Good Luck.

Mitsubish gto

http://stealth316.com/misc/stim.pdf is the 91 manual. there's four lines that go to the rear steerng so you may have gotten things crossed.
Here's a thread about AWS Delete. you will also have to replace mechanical parts other wise your rear wheels will steer randomly on their own.
