How to reset warning light

dear . if warring light coming , some time low battery need re program steering ,you need to drive up to 80/k/h then stop
complete turn to right ,complete turn to left ,W.S off and ON
if coming red color warning.check fuses / wiring to steering motor
remove and re fix

It sounds like you disturbed the wiring or the connector inside the lower portion (inside the cabin, under the dashboard) of the steering column. You may have also pinched wiring higher inside the steering column, up near the horn button. You'll need to track it all down & correct the wiring problems in (and around) the steering column.

Disconnect the column from the rack & pinion, And then see if the wheel will rotate left. If it does, then it IS the rack & pinion or some thing is jamming it. That is a classic sign of a bad rack & pinion. It takes more hydraulic pressure to turn left than to the right, and the and so the floating ball hits the seal harder, and wears it out faster. Then the pressure just returns to the pump in stead of moving the tires left.

NOTE: DO NOT turn the steering wheel more than it does when connected the the rack & pinion.
For this test one turn either way from center will suffice. If you turn it more, or fast, you will probably break the "clocking spring" inside the steering wheel. Then the air-bag warning light will come on. The spring tells the air-bag when its safe to fire the bag in relation to the wheels position.

Hope this helps.

The servo unit on the steering has failed . Look inside the engine bay for oil leaks - if none are present then the entire steering rack will have to be replaced - the internal seals have failed.

I replaced my air suspension with strutmasters on my 2003 navigator. Cut the wire to disarm warning light and my p. s. did same as yours. Reconnected wire and ps worked normal but suspension warning is now on.

This site is full tonight, of stories,of mechanics that can't find anything wrong

Wrong or not,you hear the noise

I can't help from afar,but you got the steering pump and steering rack,were they checked?

Were the wheel bearings checked?
Strut Bearings?
Ball Joints?

Some world of mechanics we got. They may want to consider a career change

NO. The rack usually fails because no one changes P/S Fluid every two years or so. Now if a new rack is installed and you don't flush the cooler and install a filter in the return line,you loose the new rack again from contamination from the first rack. That's a common poor work practice,even though every rack comes with a tag and instructions warning of this.

THIS PROBLEM IS CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE STEERING RACK AND PINION UNIT, REPLACE THE RACK AND PINION AND FLUSH THE SYSTEM UNTIL THE POWER STEERING FLUID IS CLEAR, WARNING!! FAILURE TO FLUSH THE SYSTEM CLEAN OF DEBRIS WILL RESULT IN ANOTHER WASTED STEERING RACK AND PINION UNIT..

If it is hard to turn it could be the fluid is low. If you can't turn the steering wheel go underneath the lower rack and pinion right were the steering shaft bolts to the rack and pinion there should be a round silver cap looks like a plug if that cap is missing the pinion bearings are broken and the rack and pinion are locked up replace your rack and pinion

Turn the key till all the lights come on then press the gas pedal to the floore 3 times in 5 seconds .
