Hey guys we've got a new 2004 Rx-8 and it runs great. However, several electrical feature functionality are cutting in and out. The power steering pump for the most part is the problem its working one minute and not the next. Same with the stereo controls in the steering wheel and on the dash and earlier today day is was turning over fine but would not start for quite a while which seems to suggest the fuel pump might be slightly affected also.

I was wondering if there is any one electrical center that could be shorting and attribute to all these problems?

Any info would certainly help...thanks guys.

 

Yes... loose battery connection.

 

hmmm, simple but definately true will check it out

Thanks

 

so, I checked the battery and it seems good. Regarding the power steering there seems to be a common simple issue with the conductors so we'll have them check that out tomorrow. Still not sure about the stereo controls though.
