It could be as simple as replacing/tightening the belt or it could be a short in the steering column.

This is most likely the cause. Since your horn is not honking, i would discount any short in the column. Either its your drive belt, or the altenator output is minimal, and when you turn the wheel to full lock, thats enough drag on things to lower the alt output. Check the drive belt and check the alt output. Also look and see how much your rpm drops at full lock. Some cars have a pressure switch to bump up the idle at full lock, i dont know if SVX does.
