Comfort Drive Steering Stiff
Twice now over the last several weeks, after starting the engine and driving off in more that a minute so, the Comfort Drive Steering is very stiff. Does anybody know why?

Don’t have a clue but my 15 Ventana 4369 does the same thing. . . like no pwr steering while backing out of my storage bay. “Ask FL and they referred me to NEWMAR who referred me to FL. 🤣

Hmmmmm.
The first occurrence I believe I did and turned the cut off on just before starting it.
The second occurrence I believe the cut off was off for a +/- a week. It was then turned back on (I was checking a solar panel) within the last 5-7 days before starting it today. During that period, I did start it for a minute or two while doing something this weekend but did not try the comfort steer.
So I guess that turning off the cut off switch is the is the issue. My question is why?

Comfort drive needs to be woken up after battery disconnect. Read Ken Sherwin article in the stickies

Thanks. I just opened Ken Sherwin's Comfort Steer Document when your post arrived. I read the document a long time ago this after receiving CORYinWP's Post it jogged my memory. I was just opened the Ken Sherwin's when your post arrived. Thanks again.

Thank you all for actually using the information that's already been provided. Something to think about is that when the CD is off, the coach drives just like all the coaches without CD drive all the time. You almost have to feel sorry for all those folks.
