    I noticed after driving through a puddle in a parking lot my steering wheel locked up while i was turning into a parking spot. What could be the cause?

    it actually did it about a year ago but hasnt happened since. it didnt shut off. it just would lock up, id turn the wheel back and then i could turn it a little more, it lock up again... i thought it may be a belt slipping...

    Possibly, how many miles do you have on this belt?

    Well then that belt needs to be replaced either way, and it may even fix your problem, too.
