i know the power steering issue has been covered at great length over the course of the past several years but i wanted to take a moment to share my solution, hopefully it'll numb a few headaches for those 8 owners struggling with this problem.
i spent a lot of time cleaning the power steering connections to resolve my intermittent power steering issues, sometimes i would get weeks of driving, sometimes only minutes.
i tried nearly everything, i even replaced the entire wiring harness with one much newer. took the time to clean it and wrap it all nicely. very pleased with how it came out, but it didn't fix my issue.
finally, i decided to bypass the notorious connector that sits just below the radiator overflow using some wire taps and a little 16 gauge wire. problem solved!! this fix only costed me 8$.
all i did was cut back the insulation on the harness a few inches on each side and use the taps to bridge an extra set of wires over the connector. leaving the original connecter intact.
...obviously you don't need wires quite this big, but it's what i had laying around.
then a little wrapping and some zip ties... and voila!! power steering for everyone!!! :wiggle:
