Re: power steering problem in the rain

My '08 Impala was doing the same thing (except with no security light). I replaced the serpentine belt with a GM belt (had some off-brand Japanese belt) and the problem has not occured since. Also check the belt tensioner pulley to insure the belt stays tight.
