Ok, and Adaptive steering is not electronic power steering assist. Alot of people still seem to conflate the 2 features even though they are entirely different. AS reduces steering ratio not effort, electronic steering assist reduces effort, not ratio.

Last night i turned traction control off and did a burnout on a bridge, then…cut a damn donut in a gravel road. Playing around a little. Stupid…I know…but before i even finished the complete donut, I lost all power steering. I mean nothing…nada…zilch.
Lou Ferigno couldn’t drive this thing.
What the heck happened? Is there a fuse or something that might have blown while i was horsing around

What ended up being the prothem? I'm working on a 2017 f250 king ranch has the same issue. He cut the wheel hard to spin a 180 in the snow and now it has no power steering amd thr service adaptive steering light is on. The Wheel is 90 degrees off center. He got a new steering box had me replace it no change. Can turn the wheel maybe 50 degrees either way from center fine but after that it takes two hands to pull the wheel around

we got the old pump off and i tugged on the pulley and it pulled straight out of the pump. The small shaft (maybe 1/4” - 5-16”) had snapped clean in two.
he took the cold air intake off to make it easier to get to the bolts. Think there’s four bolts. Took the bottom bolts off first while leaving the top in place to hold the pump steady and took the top bolt out last…from the top.
ford wanted over $1,000 for a new pump but i bought one from Rock Auto for $380 with the pulley already attached
you can go cheaper if you get one without the pulley but you have to have a pulley puller to get the old pulley off. I didn’t wanna risk damaging the old pulley so i bought one with a pulley already on it

but…it’s strange that you’ve got partial steering…the 50 degrees…seems to me if your issue was the pump, then you wouldn’t have any steering at all.
need to try the pull test though.

It sounds like you are having multiple system issues. The 90 degree off is the result of an adaptive steering fault, which makes sense since you have the error light. It's possible that whatever is causing the power steering issue, is just triggering the Adaptive steering system to go into fault mode. Hopefully after the power steering is fixed, the AS goes back to normal.
