Power steering problem - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

so my power steering has just went out. I have fluid in there, and last time it went out on me was about 3 weeks ago. And it randomly just started to work again about a day after it went out the first time. Could it be something to do with the relay ?

I guess you're talking about a 2nd gen?
Cycle your key off and on several times (without actually starting the car). and see if that helps.
Mine does the same thing. One of our members here suggested doing that and it worked for me.

Not really.
Just the usual. Get out the Multi Meter and check fluid level and for fluid leak(s).
Mine has gone out 3 times since I bought it in 2003. I took it to some omport specialists and, the damn thing started working when they started the car!
Once it stopped working for 2 weeks, then just started working again. That was about a year ago?
