Any help would be great! Power steering
I just bought a 2004 rx8 and the steering is completely locked up I have check all the wires but there is no power coming out of the power steering module. Even after jacking the car up while it was running I can’t get the tires to budge either direction. Anyone ever have this problem? Or possibly know how to fix it?!

You could try to have 2 people pull\push in the direction you're turning and you crank the wheel as hard as you can but most likely even if you do get it free it may not work right it just depends on how bad it really is

depending on how much $$ you got you may want to get a used one which i would recommend you use this website Car-Part.com--Used Auto Parts Market and have them ship it to you or you could go new one https://www.buyautoparts.com/buynow/2005/Mazda/RX-8/Electric_Power_Steering_Rack/80-30018_DE?src=pla&pt_source=googleads&pt_medium=cpc &pt_campaign=(ROI)+Shopping+-+All+MAPs+-+Year+Specific&pt_adgroup=

The steering wheel isn’t locked as I can feel when it unlocks when I turn the key.
The steering wheel isn’t locked as I can feel when it unlocks when I turn the key. Another question I have is my battery light is on and the battery has 12.2 volts when not running and 13.6 when running. And is there supposed to be power coming out of the power steering module. I have power going into it but I don’t any power coming out? Thanks for any input.
