I picked up a couple EPS units and columns (for other projects) from a salvage yard for under $100ea. Might be a little more costly in your region, but you should be able to get a better parts price than $1000 if you need.
Really appreciate the response. I think you're spot on - there is definitely some assisted steering still active and it does feel like a safe mode setting to protect from further damage.

No lights on dash but will plug the car in this weekend. Was thinking of picking a used unit for under $200 in my area, worst case scenario I can just return it if the part is faulty.
