Power Steering out 50% of starts
Recently, I have been having lots of problems with my power steering. About one out of three starts, my power steering doesn't work. You can still steer, but it is natural steering, not powered.
Some other problems are like logicon and wipers not working on about 50% of the starts.
I had to unplug some stuff near the passenger side headlight to get the motor to stop sticking and draining battery, but I don't think I unplugged some power steering.
Anyone know what I might have done/how can i fix it? Thanks.

sounds like you have some of the typical electrical problems with the fc. maybe icmark will wigh in cause he knows all the details on those issues. for the powere steering it may be related to your electronics going haywire but maybe not. in my opion you are better off removing the power steering (there is a good write up on how to do it properly in the archive) so it wont cut out on you when you arent expecting it. besides it will save weight, power, and clean up the engine bay a little.
