rotoryfan1991 02-11-2010 05:11 PM

Tweek 02-11-2010 05:53 PM

Could the hard steering have anything to do with the steering fluids?
Just taking a guess.

dozer 02-11-2010 05:55 PM

^its electronic, no fluid needed....

to the OP, have you tried cleaning out the connectors?

Tweek 02-11-2010 06:07 PM

Ha, looks like i need to study a little more.

Much cheaper and easy to change out yourself:

And I agree with Dozer on cleaning the connectors under the air box.

dozer 02-11-2010 06:21 PM

cleaning the connectors is an easy fix, takes about 20 minutes of your time, and if you do it right everything should be fine

Mazurfer 02-11-2010 06:55 PM

Dozer is right...............gotta try those connectors before just assuming it's the module.
Let me find that thread with the nice pic in it to show you where the connectors are!

Here it is!

Ronaldl33 02-11-2010 10:04 PM

thanks
 
thanks for all the replys iam gonna try to clean the connectors before anything else then hopefully it works

Mazurfer 02-12-2010 07:34 AM

^................Make sure you let us know, so we can use it as a further reference. Hopefully that will be it!
Contact cleaner is the way to go, but get them clean and dry. If it works, then start thinking about lengthening that coolant overflow hose!


Just don't go by what the dealer tells you.

Ronaldl33 02-12-2010 11:44 AM

hey guys i looked at the pic of what iam suppose to be looking at and today i open the hood any advice where the connectors are next to looks kinda complicated im no mechanic lol

So, you looked at this pic?

It's the gray connectors and they would be really hard to see as they are located pretty low.

The best way to find them is to take out the intake box to give you good access to them.

If you aren't sure about how to do that or don't feel like you can attempt it, then find someone who can.

Print this picture out, give it to them and point!

Have them unplug these connectors, clean the contacts real good and plug them back in. This would still be well worth it if it cures the issue.

^.............great pic!
Will use for further reference!

Funny how I get used to people's avatars and when they change I'm like................WTF?

OSducky 02-13-2010 12:28 PM

in some cases it's not the connectors ............. trust me I wish it were the connectors =[

Of course it is not always the case, and we pointed that out, but it's certainly worth the effort to try it first before moving onto the module or the entire steering rack! :fingersx:

Ronaldl33 02-14-2010 05:20 AM

awesome
 
thanks for the pic just what I need it gotta print this out

CTrx8 02-14-2010 07:15 AM

check your battery connections too. i had one that got corroded and when i replaced that, i was good to go. probably not the culprit but worth looking at them anyway.

Mazurfer 02-14-2010 07:26 AM

^...................yeah, I think the goal here should be to eliminate most(if not all) of the easy possibilities before going after the module or the rack itself.

Ronaldl33 02-15-2010 12:34 PM

today
 
today I'll be doing the cleaning on the connectors I'll let you guys know how it went

Phil's 8 02-15-2010 01:54 PM

Chances are that it's the connectors. Mine had so many problems that CRH wiried them direct. No problems since.

thank you guys so much for this. id read the thread about this, but didnt see any pictures and apparently cleaned the wrong connectors. unfortunately ive got a revi in, which makes it much harder to clean those, but now i at least know what im looking for.

though, to be honest, i like it without power steering :)

expo1 02-15-2010 03:03 PM

I also had to remove a Revi to get to them, but hey how long has it been since you re-oiled the filter?

Mazurfer 02-23-2010 07:23 AM

Well...................any update here?
Did cleaning the connectors do the trick?

turbo_rx-8 02-23-2010 07:36 AM

ill see if i still have the one off my old rx8 ill pm you if i do

Ronaldl33 02-24-2010 03:32 AM
