So I replaced my radiator and water pump and also checked for leaks after everything was installed. No leaks. Next day my radiator light comes on and when i checked my coolant was low again. AND NOW my power steering has a mind of its own. it on its off... this just sucks

IF YOU DIDN'T PURGE THE COOLANT YOUR LEVEL WILL TAKE A WHILE TO EQUALISE

and +1 on cleaning/drying out the connector .

well it takes a while for all the air to get out of the system. unless you were smart and filled it with the car jacked up in the front on jackstands..

as to the power steering.. well the radiator takes a dump on the connector for the power steering..

might search for that. also. know issues with sensor that controls the coolant light.

that light might have had nothing to do with the h2o pump or radiator..

my recommendation is to lengthen the damn overflow hose on the coolant resivoir so it doesn't go right on the fan/ps connectors.....
