Power steering problem

Hi, Fellas
I have a big problem in (EPS) system
When I turn right or lift the steering sensor send a signal to EPS unit and the motor & actuator working normally, when i turn to opposite direction the steering contactor will cut off , I turn off key SW. and start again... working normally... the contactor cut off when i turn in opposite direction again.
I checked the steering sensor is ok.. EPS unit is ok.. motor & actuator is ok.. the wiring is ok.
i don`t know what to do.. anyone can help me?!!
please your advice and thanks all

though your motor seems ok, give it a thorough checking. we have had a few of these where the motor seems ok but has a fault. the fault was that if tested with a multimeter on the bench would give open circuit reading if turned in one direction but not the other. best way to prove would be substitute motor off working truck.
