Check the electronic control connections.
There is a stepper motor on the pump control, and a pressure sensor on the bottom of the pump.
Are you getting any error beeps from the steering computer under the dash?

Most likely it's the power steering computer. It's a common fault on these cars. The computer is under the dash, just above your left foot when you're driving. It's a silver box about 4 inches square and 1 inch thick. I've read that if you disconnect it while the boost is working, it will stay that way. Icemark (on this site) sells rebuilt units.
