Anyone pulled their power steering fuse? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Is their any possibility of hurting anything by driving without the p/s fuse plugged in?

You won't hurt anything having it pulled.

I have done some experimentation with fooling the P/S ECU and will eventually have a product to offer which allow configurable disabling of the EPS. Where, you'll be able to select options like having it on-proportional or on-full at low speed (<5, <10, or <25 MPH) and off completely at speeds above the configured threshold.
