So some douche-bag some my radio FACEPLATE the other day (as dumb as that is...) so for the last 2 days I've had the joy of silence in the car.

Well today before I parked, I straightened out the wheels before turning off the jeep, and every time I turn, I get this hiss coming from the column/under dash. I haven't spent too much time checking it out because its dark.

Car seems to run/drive/shift/stops/4wd engages/heat works/etc so what could be making this sound?

I posted a vid of me turning the wheel and the hiss if that helps anyone...

Now that you have silence in the car you can hear the steering pump? Might be on it's way out.

Kinda sounds like a pump. Mine makes a weird honking noise from the column when I turn. It only does it at certain spots and usually only when making sharp turns like backing out of the driveway.

Mine makes a squeak from the column at certain points, and all power steering pumps make noise. Mine sounds like chewbacca.
