Whenever this would drop out the power steering motor would shut off momentarily until the signal returned, basically no power steering. I pick up the car tomorrow so hopefully I can put this to bed once and for all. Hope this helps someone else diagnose their steering issue.

I have found that the dealers are horrible at working or uncovering things , How do they diagnose a short in this harness? I feel like my dealers unless something is falling off cant figure anything out

Thanks! That's the Op's video not mine, I just replied to the thread because we had a common problem.
