My RX-8 Steering Is very difficult
 

Does anyone know why this might happen? after one day I have started and it was OK and then after a while I shut down the engine and the steering is very difficult and I can see there is a steering LED is on from the dash board.

Can anyone tell me how to fix this? some of my friends told me that it is a Battery issue and some are telling me that it is a problem with the sensors.

Thank you

Check all of your fuses first.

99% it's the power steering system's connectors.
Easy fix, a search here will show you how to do it.

Thanks guys. Found the problem.

It was the wiring problem. the cable from the steering rack to the ECU. I have replaced with the new cable and it is working perfectly fine now.

Regards,

Can't be all that perfect.

So is the car running now?

glad you were able to fix the issue. my first thought would have been a bad u-joint in the steering shaft. glad it was a simple fix!
