Power Steering Issue
#1

Hello Everyone,

I recently installed extra lighting on the rear of my '21 Venice. I kept getting unwanted results just trying to tap into the harness behind the rear tire so I located the three wires (left and right blinker, and brake) in the BCM. I tapped into the wires, tested the lights and everything worked great. After reinstalling the front end and windshield, I pulled it out of garage to go for a spin and noticed that my power steering no longer works. Have no clue why... I am a graphic designer. Not a "under-the-hood" kind of guy. So needless to say I didn't touch anything else except the wires I knew were the blinkers and brakes. I saw someone else in the forum mention that the power steering is electric and to check the fuse(s). Not knowing which one exactly, so I sat and looked at each fuse under the hood (by the drivers front tire) and everything looks good there. I noticed in the VV manual that there is supposed to be another fuse box under the dash at the firewall? There is no such fuse box on my 21VV. Can anyone point me to fuse box that is supposed to be under the dash, or does anyone else have any suggestions on what else to check?

Thanks in advance!

I have a 2018 Venice so this might not apply to a 2021.  The fuse box under the dash is near the steering column, inside the cab.  The 2018 manual does not list a fuse for the steering, but I wouldn't put a lot of trust in the manual  It is incorrect in many areas, and formatted poorly.
