Chrysler LHS Maintenance and Repair

The power steering rack on my LHS makes a whining sound when turning. This only happens when the outside temperature is over 70 degrees and the car is at operation temporature. The rack was replaced about 3 years ago and started making the noise about a year after it was installed. At that time I had the system flushed to replace the ATF3 fluid with ATF4 fluid to try and stop the noise at which time they discovered the filter in the reservoir bottle was all but clogged so they replaced the bottle. Any recommendations on what I can try other than living with it or replacing the power steering rack again?

Hope that helps.
I just found number 14 fuse (5 amp) blown. I replaced it and everything came back on momentarily and then the fuse blew again. I am assuming there is a short. Where do I look first? I got 3 trouble codes also.
1. Code 77 Speed Control Power Relay circut is open or shorted
2. Code 21 Problem with Oxygen Sensor Signal Circuit, Sensor Voltage to computer not fluctuating.
3. Code 12 Problem with the Battery Connection. Direct Battery Input to controller Disconnect within the last the last 50 ignition key-on cycles
any Ideas?

There was a recall to fix the faulty o-rings on my 1995 LHS. Dealer did the fix 4 years ago. All was well for a while and now same problem has come back.
Dealer says they will not fix it again since the recall was done. Apparently they are only allowed to do it once.
Independent mechanic checked out the problem and says fuel rail and oring leaking..
my questions is: should the dealer/chrysled corp. be help responsible to fix this issue again OR is once done all they are required to do.?
If you know the answer please help and post.
what other recourse do I have.? How do I contact Chrysler to request assistance.?
I am looking at a $500+ bill on this... thanks in advance.

The problem...when I drive for ~10 miles in traffic, the car stalls at a stop. There is no sputtering or unusual signs. It simply turns off. This only happens when it has been at a stop for at least 10-15 seconds. It takes about an hour to start up again.
I've searched the forums for similar problems, but every other post i found has stated their car started up again with no issues.
I've only tried changing the fuel filter, as I'm not very handy with cars. I wanted to gather information to see if this was a problem I could fix myself, or if I'd be better off taking it somewhere.
I have already changed the filter and the fluid ( which was pretty bad) but it still does the same thing mainly when it is cold.
