There is a delay switch which is supposed to wait about 7 seconds before trying to level the car to make sure that the not level condition isn't due to a pothole or the like. AS you say it always returned to level, the rest of the system was working. You may just need a new delay switch.

When your power steering cylinder was replaced, the car was on a lift in the air. They always seem to need to level when they are back on the ground. The underdash switch allows leveling to be turned off when the car is being serviced. Did the mechanic who put in the power steering cylinder turn it off? If so, you may only need to turn it back on. If the mechanic did not turn off leveling, it would have tried to level while on the lift and run until the limit switch stopped the leveling motor when the limit was reached. While the limit switch interrupted the signal to the leveling motor, the delay switch would still be sending a signal to level the car. The delay switch would be operating and sending that signal the entire time the car was in the air. This could cause a delay switch failure.

Having the delay switch running the entire time the car was on the lift for the power steering cylinder could also have caused the fuse to blow. This is the same fuse as the brake lights.

Check the on-off switch and the brake lights first.
