Service stablelink comes on and within seconds the power steering turns off. I have to pull over turn off the truck for 15 seconds to reset the computer and most of the time it stops. However there have been times when it does not reset and i have to drive without power steering. This happens randomly. I can be stoped on the highway or around town.
