So Tired Of Wrestling
Ok, so I have to break down and purchase a new EPS module for my RX8. Everytime I drive my 8, it's like a wrestling match and I'm tired. The dealer diagnosed it with having a faulty EPS module and they kindly told me that it would be a $1400 repair. After laughing at them, I drove it home, but I knew that one day I would have to get this replaced. I've been all over the web trying to find one, and I did....from Mazmart I believe it was. It is a used one for like $300 and something bucks. I found another site, but for the life of me I can't remember who is was, and it was like $847 for a new one. I have looked at the connectors, and they are clean. Fuses work. Do ya'll have any suggestions on where I can get one of these.
Thanks

You should have tried searching on the subject. Chances are it is not the EPS but the $80.00 wiring harness. At least that was what mine turned out to be. Any time there is a problem with the steering the dealers states it is the the module.

See if the dealer will swap it out with a know good, test, it, and then test yours again. They did this to verify that the module was bad in mine after I checked all of the connections. Get it from Mazmart! It's an easy swap that you can do yourself as well. Only takes 5 minutes.
