Edwin,
slow down when you write, it's not making sense. You can give your opinion, but hold off on the "your all wrong"
Besides, the post is very old!

again you are all wrong your steering amp has a bad capacitor top one its fill with gey silicone wrap around it go ahead touch the capacitor and see its loose every time you hit a bump the cap its arc internal on the board which you need to take off the grey silicone and look on the back of the board and see where its soldered to the top cap and see it burnt

The truck may not be seeing that the tiller is moving due to a bad spot in the tiller encoder. Run tests I35 and I36 and turn the tiller slowly and the count should increase CW and decrease CCW. Are there any codes popping up?

Ain't nothing I can't fix but a broken heart and the break of day!
I'm guessing electric steer, myriad of things can cause this.

Steer encoder under handle, steer head that runs the motor.

*** the steering will lock up

I turn the machine on then off, and it goes back to normal
