Ongoing steer control issue

First let me say thanks for all the info I have found here already.

Our "service tech" was positive that we needed a new steer control board at a cost of $2100.00. The tech replaced the steer position encoder as he thought that was the problem. I instead sent ours off and had it serviced for $400.00. I installed the controller and went through the calibration. All seemed fine for a few hours then code C3 again. I then went back through calibration and same thing 3 hours later. Doesn't feel like excessive play in pivot bearing while jacked up. So I guess I'm down to either steer encoder or home proximity sensor.


Any thoughts on what I may be missing or overlooking?

Fact of the week
Bluetooth is named after the 10th-century Viking king, Harald Bluetooth, who united warring tribes in Denmark and Norway. In 1997, Jim Kardach from Intel gave the name to the technology because of its ability to unite different communication protocols, just as Harald united various tribes.
