Can any one help, I have a '93 convertible (right hand drive) and the 4WS light is on dash thus rear wheels not moving. Have checkd fuse box under sterring wheel and this is fine. Could someone let me know if there are any more fuses for this or Relays before I have to move on to the expensive options. ALSO is it safe to drive in 2WS?? I thank any one with there help in this matter. C But recoil at anyone whose boss or father is a locked up general with millions in the bank and wants me to lose all integrity and turn into a muppet and hand over all my hard earned...!! and anyone else of the same ilk, viagra boys, degree boys, body parts enlarging boys and god bless them the good old bank draft/money transfere boys.

There are 2 relays for the 4ws on the passengers font wing near the suspension mount, check they are connected ok.

I should have a spare good set about the garage which i've loaned out in the past for testing purposes. I'll check and see if i can find them.

Try seeing if anything different happens if you swap the two relays over that are near the front left suspension mount. As I remember they are both the same (sold mine a while back so can't check to confirm). Also try with both removed. The rear steering is shaft driven from the front so even a dead system should still work in 4WS with the rear wheels counter steering as in low speed mode. Does anything change when you switch the reverse 2WS on or off? Perhaps it's stuck in that mode?   Also could people please stop abusing this site? It used to be a fantastic way of finding out about 'personal enhancement' products and excellent money making opportunities. If people don't stop spoiling it with talk about cars then I may have to remove my name from the list!  

Rubbish car - ST 182. Glad to have got rid of mine for ?400. Lucky to have got that. The 4ws is shite. Enjoy your kelloggs corn flake box car. >

That was constructive......Your's must have been a real bag'o'shite if you only got ?400 for it. Did you maintain it at all? Did you even wash it?

Yes the ST182 is a poor car. The St183 is a very different car. Different chassis, different body kit, higher tuned engine, better interior, and steering that works! Get a life!  

Thanks all tested definatly no rear steer. relays swapped around still nothing. Thanks to all that have helped I will just keep it as 2WS and hope the sun comes out so I can put the roof down and and a smile on my face. Chris

No rear steer at all? All I can think of for that is that it's somehow stuck in reverse 2WS mode. Either that or the shaft drive between front and rear is broken somewhere, although that would probably mean the rear wheels would be be loose, so probably some electrical gremlin somewhere. I've never heard of that fault before but as this forum knows very well it's a temperamental system at the best of times... As for fixing it, sorry I'm stumped. At least you can enjoy the roof down though. Let's just hope it stops raining long enough to do it!
