2007 Pontiac Torrent

A buddy of mine has a 2007 Pontiac Torrent. He said he gave a friend a jump start. And after he helped his friend with a jump his power steering went out. Also a light came on saying CHECK STABILITRAK. My buddy was quite worried because he depended on his car to get to work and back.

So I did a little research and figured out that it was a fuse that had blown. This happens sometimes when people give jump starts incorrectly. The fuse was an 80 amp fuse located next to the positive battery terminal. It's held in place by two bolts.

You can buy this fuse at a dealership, typically runs around 10 bucks. Just be sure to disconnect the battery before installing it. It fixed his problem completely. Hope this information helps someone in need.
