Default This is your power steering relay - pull it out and it improves the feel ...

While you are at low speed the steering wheel is easier and when you remove the relay the steering is somewhat heavier. This mod is great over-all - not so much play in the wheel on the highway!

Default you've been here long enough that you should know...

STFA. Or better yet, check the Tech Articles.

Default Drop panel under steering wheel, and pull out the 605 relay located on the right side.

Or in my case (skinny arms, you can get away with only dropping the panel half-way. Then you can reach in through the gap under the steering column...

Default Which did you bypass on the low side of the relay: power, or ground?

Just curious...

Default Won't void anything. If you're worried that the dealer will notice, simply pop it back in..

before bringing it there
