According to what I found the pump motor would overheat because it was fighting a filter clogged with rust. That does NOT fit with your experience. Did you ever find out what really happened?

I wonder if Mazda isn't hiding anything because that sounds REALLY disturbing.

For those in doubt, I am in my 50's and have been driving lots of car without power steering in the early 80 so I would know what it feel like. My "Steering locked" issue remained until I turn off the car and leave it for 10 secs before turning it on again. It was not cutting in and out like some mentioned here. |

Please accept my apology. You indeed must have quite a pair. Now I am genuinely a bit nervous. This is the stuff that kills people.

The steering wheel is not coupled to the shaft in this arc. This is only the error input. Think of it like a gaming joystick. Turn a bit to the right. It commands the servo to turn the shaft to the right until the shaft and steering wheel are back in alignment. Now for the hard part. The failure modes would be determined by how the reduction gear is coupled to the shaft and specific choices made in the design of the controller itself. I would have to see schematics and all the related code (because no one designs purely analog systems anymore) to decipher it any further.

What I doubt right now is your assessment of the issue at hand, being that everyone else in this thread seems to think it's not an issue. Perhaps you can provide the actual diagnosis and parts replaced so we can take a look? .. only if it's an actual lock issue. If my steering was locked, I would not be able to turn it at all, let alone "a few inches". -alex |

I am fully converted to OP's argument. He confused the issue with his defensive response about people not owning the car and how it's hard to turn when it's off but this sounds different.

with the car in the "On" position but engine not started, is the amount of force needed to turn the steering wheel the same as when the initial problem occured? If so, it's not a lock issue. If not, it's an isolated lock issue that is most likely related to a bad steering input sensor, motor, or both. -alex |

Frankly, I am surprised that the thread is still on-topic, given that both Tcoat and Ultramaroon have chimed in.
I've never noticed any probems with my PS, and that was including some days this past summer where we almost hit 100 F (around 38-40 C). Quote:
It was damn fun, though And one last thing...Thanks for the new sig, Ultra |

Wow! I am honored. You held on to your last one for a "very long" time.

I still think there's an open question here. Is the power steering mechanically able to make the steering harder than it'd be if it just lost power? I mean, it really shouldn't. I've seen software glitches in my car, a couple of times it flashed a lot of warning lamps and wouldn't start before I got out, locked the doors with the remote, opened it and got in again. And that's fine. A software glitch that will kill me is not. |
