2012 GTX 2100 Problems HELP requested
 
I bought a 2012 GTX 2100 a little over a year ago. Worked great until...suddenly power steering, headlight, and deck lift stopped working. Would start unless I used jump box to start. Replaced battery and starts and runs fine. PO gave 3 3 resisters that he told me he once had to replace when P/S stopped working. I ordered and replaced the 3 resisters. Deck now works- not P/S or headlights. Replaced all space fuses. No help. Looked and checked wiring as well as I can.
Anyone run in to this problem? Any ideas for solutions? Really appreciate and help. Dealer repair would take a home Equity loan... Thank in advance

Check the rectifier for good ground and clean terminals.

I am not sure where the rectifier is located-?
Thanks for taking time to help me out

I've been told by folks in the know that jumping those machines or the voltage getting too low will both ruin the EPS. That doesn't explain the headlights not working, but they really don't like having the EPS undervolted.

It's on the left side, down by the frame.
Will have a flat 3 pin connector plugged into it.
Good place to check for proper DC voltage output as well.
f you have low voltage, the PS will not work like it should.
Had the same issue with my GTX2154LE this spring.
What voltage is showing on your meter when the key is turned on?

Here's where the rectifier is mounted.
Note the ground tab coming from the bottom of it.
The fan shroud is plastic there for it needs a dedicated ground to the engine.

thank you
 
I appreciate the time guys/ Unfortunately I am recovering from cancer surgery and just finished chemo and radiation so laid up for awhile. I have been able to use my 16 year old 3200 that will hopefully hang on and finish the season. I will try when able.

I cannot tell from your photos where the rectifier is, maybe a wider angle please?
