Power steering problem
I have a 2010 f150 XL. 4.6L The power steering would work one day and not the next and work again and so on. But now it just stopped. How can you tell if the pump or the rack and pinion is bad. my resivor full of fluid. When I start the truck turn the wheels there's no whining sound. Should the fluid in the resivor be flowing?

Yes, you should be able to see the fluid flowing in the reservoir.
If you have a thermometer, you could check the temperature of the fluid too. Should be in the 150-160 range after a 20 min drive, based on my experiences.
