Check and clean the P/S harness connections; you should also check the charging system.

OP. read this thread: https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-trouble-shooting-95/power-steering-failure-107481/

it covers the failure of the power steering and how some people have been able to clean the connectors and some have had to replace the harness.
