Take the belt off, grab the power steering pump pulley with your hand and try moving it out.... if it is broken, it will come right out. This is a common issue, when I got my truck the shaft was broken in the pump.

Just unplug it at the column

It is, still does it.

Only time I ever had that scenario was when the wires going to the pump had bare insulation and shorted together. But I've only owned a couple GMT400's new enough to have EVO...

Anyway, if anybody cares to go back and read the OP's post I think you might reconsider wanting to blame this on the EVO. The pump is most likely dead.

I did read it an I was saying the evo was something free to check that could be the culprit before changing the pump. Never hurts to try something....
