Ok Yesterday I Had A Problem With My Car... The Battery Just Discharged Without Any Warning, I Gave Charge To The Battery... And Later On The Warning Of The Power Steerring Turns On, The Car Was Dificult To Move.

I Disconnected The Negative Terminal Of The Battery, And The Problem Was Already Result.
I Bought A New Battery Today.. But The Power Steering Problem Was Back!

And I Dont Know What To Do????

In My Country I Have A Mazda Dealer But They Dont Bring Rx8!!!

 

OK well my 8 was in a wreck and the body shop did not fix 2 key things.
1. Rack and Pinion and thats about $1,834.82
2. Right Front Speed Sensor and that ones about $298.84
My 8 is at my local Mazda dealer right now. The body shop cleared the code I dont know how but he told me he went to the same Mazda dealer I bought my car from. I asked the Service manager she said the car was never here. So one day I was driving home and the power stearing light comes on.
My 8 was hard to drive. Then the right wheel locked up and pulled hard to the right. Thank God there was no cars to the right or left of me as I was all over 3 lanes trying to get her under control. I was cought off gard with one hand on the wheel. My Mazda dealer said they will not cover the 2 parts under warrenty. So I called the body shop. He said have Mazda dealer fix the 2 problums then I will have you car INC. CO. bill Mazda. Thats where I stand right now. And my car has been at Mazda for 2 weeks now.

 

turn car to on,
turn steering wheel all the way to the left.
then turn all the way to the right...
turn to the center.

it should reset the steering.
also it in owners manual.

May be for abrahamsaca, but thats not the case for me.

 

I had the power steering fail and it turned out to be an EPS module, which after reading the forum seems to be a problem with some RX-8's.

 

you can also check the fuses that connect to the postive battery terminal as if they are blowed your electric assisted steering will not work

 

Not to be rude, but considering you stole abrahamsaca' post without even giving him a courteosy reply, I don't think yours needed a response.

 

I dont know what you getting at? I was letting abrahamsaca know what happen with my RX-8. Maybe my problem will give him a idea to his problem. Thats all.

 

Maybe somthing happened to your powersteering pulley? Good luck, let us know what happened.

 

bart, our cars dont have power steering pullies... we have electric steering.

DOM: I digress. After rereading the above posts half a dozen times, I see what you were doing. My appologies...

Since I'm here, have either of you two figured anything out about your problems?

 

Yea its cool man we all have RX-8's an thats the bottum line . Na no new info on my 8 yet. Its still at Magic Mazda in Las Vegas. This is going on the 2nd week
