The steering of the wheel is rough. I have to use small movements. It's like something is stuck or no power steering fluid. Since there is no fluid, only electrical, there is something wrong with the electrical portion of the power steering pump

Driving to indiana to see my grandbabies and the check electronic trailer brakes came on the check electronic braking system light came on. Cruise control stopped working and lost power, the same thing happened on the way back to kentucky. I had the brakes done, but mechanic said it's a sensor i the steering column.
