so i recently purchased this great T2. running ac and everything! great interior and all. anyways. so im driving home from work and i feel my power steering totally give out when i get into another lane when im at a stop. so im like uhh wtf. so i turn down my music and hear this constant beeping noise, almost sounds like the beep my turbo timer makes when the cars off. but i check to make sure thats not the problem. so i finally am going to pull over and the power steering comes back perfectly fine. im not sure what it is! so i pull over anyways, no leaks, power steering fluid is full, belts new and still on there. so im like uhh ok..so every once in a while it will start beeping again and the power steering will give out..ANY ideas on what this is? note: no its not any buzzing from the dummy lights, its coming from in the dash it seems like..near where my feet are. so any suggestions are greatly appreciated. ima still try to mess with it, im wondering if maybe its electrical cuse it will be beeping when i turn my car off, then a few minutes later if i turn it back on, the PS is working fine..but i could be wrong! thanks


Problem number 2: well i had this on my NA for a little while but it seemed to go away, i want this car to be running good so i don't like having these little problems. the problem is that my speedometer started dying on me it seemed like..it would bounce up and down and not stay to steady, then it would go back to normal, well now its just completely at 0 all the time. no more bouncing or accurate speed at all. any suggestions on that? i never figured it out on my NA rx7 either. i appreciate all the help and suggestions thanks again!

 

you will want to read the FAQ for FC sticky thread at the top of this section.. it contains the error codes for the beeps and wil tell you exactly what the problem is


bad speedo cable


You will also want to fix your signature as the maximum size allowed is 6 lines of text including any images. Images should also be the size of 6 lines of text or smaller.

Your current image is about the size of 20 lines

 

i've come to find out that both of the problems are linked and that i need to replace the speed sensor in the car. where is this "gray" box located under my console? i was told thats the problem, thats the speed sensor right? but yeah if i just turn off my car my power steering works fine for a while, then it beeps again and it sucks yet again. any help on this?

 

The speed sensor is in the speedometer.

Fixing the speedometer cable will fix the PS also.

While you're at it, be thankful you don't have a 3rd gen.

 

First, no bump... Bumps are not permitted here. Your bump has been deleted.

2nd the speed sensor is in the speedometer.

Fix the speedometer/speedo cable and the power steering will stop beeping.

third, fix your signature or it will be deleted.
