Could be 2 reasons. First, the steer switches are not working. They turn off the inside motor by opening the contactor circuit. The unlikely reason is the drive motor (or both motors) are shorting to each other. Raise and block both front wheels off of the floor and check to see if each motor turns off left and right while turning the steer wheels
