I'd start with the electrical connectors. There's one big one on top of the steering rack. There's a smaller one on the steering rack stalk. These are usually unplugged when lowering the subframe, to pull the trans, to pull the motor.

I pulled my engine from the top, and now that you mention plugs...I just looked and seen one busted up on the lower front of the drivers side (looks like it may be a relay?)

didn't pull it out, just took it out to resleeve #4...not i put it all back together and power steering is out and the only thing I can think is that one connection that is busted on the lower front driver side on the steering part..its a prong looking connection as 2 on top, 3 in the middle and I think 1 on bottom....if you have to time leave a # to call so I can describe and vice versa

Check to make sure you have enough power steering fluid. That might be the problem. You also might want to check the headlight fluid too while you are at it.
