Saying its the bulb is very misleading. The high beams and the lows are seperate circuits and most likely wont effect one another. Also there is more then "the bulb" that could effect the light circuits.

I didn't say it definately was, however I said it enhances the possibility and you are the original one who suggested a bulb problem...also both the low beam and bright bulbs come in on the same plug, and I believe that ground is shared, so if the high beams work then it limits it down...I pointed out the purple wire (rechecked myself should have said blue) which is the wire for the low-beams...I did however forget about all the wiring that is inside of the headlight.

i found out it was the power plug that goes to the whole headlight. i pulled the orange rubber sealer off the plug and it works. when it wants to... so i don't know if its the plug or the headlight assembly? I was just gonna replace the whole plug... i know its not any of the bulbs because they all work fine individually.

What does the purple wire do in the harness?

Ill ask what I asked earlier. Are your tires properly inflated? How's ur power steering fluid level? Does this concern happen on loose ground like dirt or snow?

yeah tires are on point, power steering is good, this happens any time i make a left turn. sometimes it loosens up mid turn but yeah every left turn. other wise shifting from lane to lane is smooth.. so idk

Do you hear any creaking, groaning, spring like noises as u turn from lets say lock to lock? It's plausible u could have bad strut top bearings I so and that could be causing too much resistance that the pump can't overcome. Another symptom of that is "memory steer" where u make a tight turn and even after u straiten out ur car continues to want to turn.

U may also want to consider lifting the front wheels up and physically turn the wheels AT the wheels by hand and see if things bind up. Engine off mind u.

Obviously this is speculation but through process of eleimination ur issue probably isn't the column or the pump because both of those do the same job no matter what way u turn. If none of the linkage is binding then that leaves the rack. Possibly leaking by the piston. However this is just speculatoon and with out seeing and looking myself I can only speculate and nothing more.

ok yeah when it tightens up yeah i hear some groaning sound but its very faint.. if u have music playing you can barely hear it..
when the car is in the air i put it in neutral or leave in park with car off?

[a.graham52]

Park, car off. Ur not "spinning" the wheels, ur turning them left and right by hand. Bet u will hear noisy bearings at the top of the strut. Search for the thread "how-to strut replacement" by me and take a look at my strut tops when I removed them for memory steer.

if you knew most on the site, about anyone here would try to personally help you if you were local...that is likely why he asks

well it just seemed odd to me, kind of like the hotel scene in scarface when dude gets chopped up by the chainsaw..... it all started cuz dude asked Tony where he was from. lol... idk i guess if he was really interested in helping he would have suggested something and not just came from left field asking where i'm from 2 times... u know what i mean?

ROTFL that's different. They were "Hispanic". "Hispanics" don't like being grouped together when they're from different countries. Also "Hispanics" look down on those who are not from their countries. That was what that whole scene was about. If you recall, Tony had issues with Omar when Omar told Tony that the connect were Colombians.

I think Eric wanted to know where you were from to go and help you. He's offered to do it for other people on the forum, just look around other threads he's posted.

Father's day Weekend. You didn't join at a bad time, you came at the right time. If you came August 2013, there wouldn't be a meet.

Here's 2 threads about it.

This is the official one or you discuss with others about who's going and not going here.

[03glgold]

You don't know the people on this forum and sometimes it is better to leave it with what input is being typed...With your power steering problem, it might be easier for someone who has more experience with the car to see exactly what your problem is so that they know what is being diagnosed...I have personally met eric and several other members on the forum and while we may all come off as ahoes from time to time, most of us want to do our best to help other owners, some have different ways of doing it
