Do you have a power steering noise as well/ Have you checked the level? If low then you will need to check to see where it is leaking. Keep me posted and let me know what is going on? You could also have an electrical problem?

Check your fuses on the side of the dash on the driver side. Look at fuses #32 and 33. If they are bad replace them and see if the blow again. If they do then you have a short circuit. Let me know what happens.
