Exclamation Ooopsie BIG TIME!

Well I'm not sure what happened but I've lost power steering sometime between changing my interior lighting and my battery dying. I checked the manual several times for a fuse and I don't know if I'm overlooking it but I did not see anything on it... Not sure what to do from here. Sort of nervous about taking it into the shop!

Yes I think that's what may of caused it. Not sure what page I was looking on or If I just over looked it being hung over the other morning but it was the first fuse listed... I'm assuming this is common problem with jump starting...

Especially if you aren't careful where you hook up the ground. There's a post that looks like it should be the ground but it's the power steering and blows that fuse.

so where do you ground it? for future reference, in case i eer need to jump mine. the label under the hood looks like it points to the strut mount for ground, but i'm not totally sure.
