Title: servotronic problem
Post by: col-mv6 on 29 June 2013, 19:11:54
here we are again ive had the mig on a diagnostic (not tech 2) and it said speed output sensor not working so changed that still no joy with the steering so next I bought a servotronic relay and spent a while to get to the location n/s kick panel area and what do I find no relay in the socket so I fit my relay and guess what still no joy with the steering should I change the pump next before even thinking about driving it off a cliff into a quarry

You sure the relay position is behind N/s kickpanel. late models (and some `01 models) had the relay behind the actual fuse carrier under steering wheel side by side with rear acc socket relay and timer delay relay.

well I will look tomorrow but the wiring loom and plug are on n/s as I found when I stripped it down just no relay in the socket so ive put my relay in and it fits it only goes in one way aswell due to diff size pins so I will double check tomorra on the other side

what sort of job is it to change the solenoid on the steering box or the box itself as it looks tight in there , also is there no way of shorting out the system to give light steering permanently

guys at this time I couldn't resist the temptation to go and look for this other relay position and whoop whoop there it was so I took the other one out from the passenger side id fitted earlier and fitted this in the new location and first time second time third fourth and so on up to now the bloody steering is working as it should so fingers crossed its ok when I go work tomorrow thanks for all the input guys and its well being noted that you lot are worth your weight in gold for information and im so glad that I have fingertip steering again . fingers crossed this stays this way but once again thanks I love you all in a car enthusiast sort of way lmao  :y :y :y :y :y :y :y :y :D :D :D :D :D :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
