@ricky452 are you saying your steering wheel does not turn at all? You have check to see if the steering wheel lock is engaging? You may need to unlock it. Turn the steering wheel left and right while simultaneously turning the key to the "ON" position. See if that unlocks it. Have you checked the Steering Column Lock fuse? It's in the under the hood fuse box (next to the battery) labelled as #18.

If this would be an electrical issue you should see something like a "Steering Assist Fault" etc.. message. Let us know what you find out. Could be something simple or could be really in depth, All depends on what you find out through your troubleshooting.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION > POWER STEERING - SYSTEM OPERATION AND
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION > FAILURE MODES
When a DTC is present in the PSCM, the EPAS enters 1 of 2 modes of operation.
Reduced Steering Assist Mode - The EPAS enters a reduced steering assist mode to protect the internal components of the EPAS when a non-critical safety concern is detected by the PSCM, concerns such as low battery voltage, high battery voltage or over-temperature are considered non-critical safety concerns. This reduced steering assist mode gives the steering operation a heavier than normal feel.
Manual Steering Mode - The EPAS enters a manual steering mode (no electrical steering assistance is provided) when a concern considered to be a critical safety concern is detected. In manual steering mode, the vehicle has mechanical steering only which gives the steering operation a heavy feel.
Might be time to have your Ford scanned and see if it pops any codes. That would definitely help to narrow it down.
