    So I installed a SWAS toggle switch a couple years ago, and it helped with my power cuts greatly, but one thing that I've always wondered about is why my steering wheel gets ever so stiffer when I flick the switch. Is this indicative of having cut the wrong wire? When I turn my sensor back on and restart my car the steering is completely normal. I can drive with the slightly tighter steering, it's just a bit slower to turn if I'm still making a 3 point turn, or making a slow hairpin turn on the track.

    Any feedback is appreciated
