i dont have a pic sorry, but you can get to the from top some things need to be removed

 

Hello I recently had an intermittent power steering loss (20 min) drove immediately to mazda rx8 mechanic,shut off engine,discussed quote to repair and was given brief response (electronic issue) and then when I turned it back on,engine lite disappeared. Have since put on 300 miles,no problems. Given your knowledge and experience do you believe it's ok,recalibrate itself? Is that possible? Or does code p2259 affect it? Thanks original 2004 owner 153k miles 😯







QUOTE=Mike Donovan;141644]actually there is a issue with that, theres two wring harnesses that connect to the rack (also has the electric pump inside) they get water in them and short it out, unplug them clean them out and try it, may need to re-calibrate from steering wheel[/QUOTE]

 

I also have this problem.

 

Behind the radiator are two grey connectors. If the coolent tank leaks its drips into the connectors and you loose power steering. Cleaning the connectors makes it possible to get your power steering back but two things would be good to do after this.

Get a longer hose for overflow and aim it someplace other then into the electronics. Replace the connectors with come that are waterproof (If your ok with not using OEM parts)
