HELP - 2001 Kia sportage 4x4 Power Steering problem
My power steering started going on and off 2 month ago
Las month it went all the way out
Otherwise Kia running perfectly - No check engine light
-----------------
fluid ok - not leaking fluid
power steering belt in good condition
already replaced power steering pump
already replaced gear box
----------------
Anymore ideas?

Gee, did the power steering belt break? There should be a small belt from the crank pulley to the power steering pump. Is it present?

one of the pulleys could be seized-up, too, which would burn the belt and destoy it eventually, too.

Try and bleed the air out of the lines. If you loosen the fittings at the gear box you may need to get new packing.

No rack in a Sporty. Just old style ball and sector steering box.

Thanks for all the suggestions
It ended up being the power steering pump AGAIN.
The original pump went bad so we purchased a rebuilt/refurbished pump locally and this second pump was bad.
We purchased a third pump from eBay and it is working fine now
