How heavy? Like no power steering?

If so there’s the fuse, relay, my power steering power wire came loose but not completely so I would loose power steering in hard corners right when you don’t want to loose it.

I have to put quite a bit more effort into making a turn especially from a stop. When the car sits and I turn it back on everything appears normal. I put the car in drive or reverse and move. Hill start assists, service traction control, abs, and steering assist. Due to current situation I do not have the luxury of taking it apart, finding a broke part, and fixing it. Really need to diagnose buy part, do it that day. ****ing renting a house at the moment with a steep ass driveway and shitty small garage.

I removed the ground wires, scuffed the with sand paper, made sure I had good metal and contact. I am pretty sure it is not a ground.

Car drives normal other than the power steering. I bounced ideas off a friend, he said sounds like ABS module or power steering rack as well.

Cleaning the grounds was smart. When I had this same thing happen I needed to use Forscan to clear a code stored in the BCM. A regular code scanner won’t read or clear it. If you don’t have Forscan the dealer should be able to check for codes and clear.

I disconnected the battery. While I cleaned the grounds. I am going to go by the O'rileys we have here. I was told they can check the codes for other than just CEL. I am disappointed I can not figure the issue. I am usually pretty good at this stuff. I believe it's the steering rack or AbS module.

These power steering racks actually use a rubber belt between the steering gear and the rack. It may have failed.

Try this thread, your issues sound similar:

Also, I put together this EPAS thread a while back to help others with any further EPAS issues. Most don’t know the EPAS unit contains an internal rubber belt (like a vacuum cleaner… LOL).
