  9. Stalled reversing power output issues

    Ummm Would leaving an interior light on in the car for two days cause me to have power steering issues? I understand the pump runs of the battery. Reversing out at low revs wouldn't put enough power out to run the pump and cause it to potentially cut out. Is this something that could have...
