Powersteering is beeping but I dont want to realign the wheel. What can I do?
So my power steering is annoying me to no end and i would like to keep the power steering but i dont want to realign the steering wheel though. I tried unplugged the box and the fuse but that takes away the power steering.
Is there anyway to keep the power steering but get rid of the beeps?

I dont have the tools to do it on hand and I have to bring it into work to do it. So i don't have the time to do something like that on a spur of the moment idea

Also the fact I actually dont know how to realign the steering wheel currently since I think there is something broken when the last owner put the steering wheel on. So i need to diagnose it first

Yeah the turn signals dont self cancel. I do it manually. Is there a kit I can buy to fix this problem?

No kit necessary, it's just one part that needs replacing.
If you don't align the collar before the wheel goes on and you don't get the nubs on the collar into the receiver holes in the wheel hub, you'll crush the collar.
I guess if you don't know how the TS work it's easy to overlook.
how the hell do people break those? Sounds like it happens all the time but in all my years and as many times as I have removed these wheels, I've never even come close to breaking one.

His lack of knowledge was the entire reason he created this thread, so stating an already known fact is just ignorant on your part.
Lack of knowledge and wisdom are two things many many people on this forum possess to a certain extent.
There's no reason to point out someones faults , there is no such thing as a perfect person, even a perfect rx7 owner, we all learned somehow, and had to start somewhere.
Its not where you've been, it's where you're going that matters.

so in the end he's just contributing the the neverending supply of **** FCs that compound one problem after another.
"my car is making an annoying beeping noise, how can i avoid the noise without actually fixing it?"
"take your car to the crusher, they might give you a couple hundred bucks for it"
there's nothing i despise more than someone who is too lazy to actually fix a problem. the car would still have power steering, it would be limited to speed sensitive steering though and be more stiff than normal, which would be better than pissing and moaning about it continually. or he could spend $10 and 30 minutes to fix the problem, but i suspect he has an aftermarket wheel with no alignment pins, so he's screwed with no recourse but to unplug it anyways or modify the hub to actually work like an OEM wheel would.

what do you expect when virtually every viable option you were given was shot down? even the rather easy to do ones. all you need is a (19mm?) socket/ratchet and a rented wheel puller from an auto parts store.
is it our fault you have to ask to use the hobby shop and it isn't located next door to your house? you put up the thread, not me.
and i certainly know how the military works, over the years about half of my customer base were active military members and even some of my work was done on those military bases.

Oh boy,oh boy oh boy.You make this sound Harder than Boot Camp.
If the car was driving straight with this Broken plastic collar on the steering column BEFORE,then there is NO reason to have to align the wheel again.
Take the wheel off and replace it in the same spot..mark the damn thing.If you take the wheel off with the Front wheels in a Straight position then make sure the steering wheel goes on Straight too..not **** eyed to one side or the other.
The collar has an arrow to line up and the Steering wheel has holes that the nubs of the collar will slip into,so even a 6 year old can see where it will go...and YOU would see that too IF you ever stopped posting and actually started doing the task that needed to be done.
really man..3 phillips screws,one 19mm socket and you are turning this simple procedure into Brain surgery.You don't need a Steering wheel puller,at least I didn't on all the cars I have replaced a steering wheel on.Just Pull at the top,pull at the bottom,pull side.pull other side and BAM,you got a steering wheel in your chest and it is OFF.
And,(no offense to the Few and proud) I am not in the Military so don't think that I have super human capabilities that allow me to rip parts off of cars.
If you Don't want to Fix your car then you shouldn't have posted the question on HOW to fix the damn car in the Tech section.You already know what is wrong with it,but you are just too Lazy to Do it...but apparently not lazy enough to test the patience off people that actually try to help you with the intensive info that you need to know.
You have the info now..and you are gonna Laugh so hard when you see how EASY it is.Because really..it IS!!!
