power steering problem

well i pulled my car out of the garage after winter and took it for a drive about 500 feet into it the ps went out i brought it home and got on here i pulled the connections apart and cleaned with elec cleaner and started the car and got it back for about a minute sitting waiting for it to warm up. so i shut down and reset usint the odom and brake method started up and got back for another minute. over the winter i installed the front ap sway bar. and added a amp and redid the positive side of the battery terminal thinking about putting the battery in trunk. pic attached on how i changed it kind of a dumb idea cutting the wire no that i see how another member did it now that i decided to keep battery up front (not going turbo and i dont have origional + side terminal being why i did what i did is there any way to test to see if its getting enough power and thinking of soldering wires as mm did if i find no other issues and no one has any other ideas

undo the wiring for the amp and see if that changes anything.. if that does not help. get under the car and see if you find any wiring misplaced that might have been caused by the front sway install..

but best guess it what you think.. the power steering connector under the airbox.. yes you cleaned it, but did you dry it?
