When the solenoid activates it allows lighter steering. It is supposed to activate during slow driving. If it doesn't see the proper signal or it sticks it defaults to heavy steering.

Read through this and do some troubleshooting.http://c4caraudio.com/tech/94%...g.pdf

Hmm, I just clicked on the link and it opened up the pdf. Try it again. It's my car audio company web site. The pdf is the heavy steering troubleshooting guide from the FSM.

You click on the link and it doesn't work? Strange. You want it e-mailed to your profile address?

You can also try just going to:

http://www.c4caraudio.com/tech

Then scroll down to the pdf file that's called "94 Q45 Power Steerin..>". You don't see the entire name because it gets cut off.

I will also email it.
