Technical Power steering gone but light not on dash

[koalar]

Let's see if there's any clue in the the dash lights

Do you have MultiECUscan or similar

If you lift both wheels, does the steering turn lock to lock smoothly

And the result

The steering light came on for first time but went off in video

I’ll jack up tommorow an do lock to lock. I drove it as is two weeks ago but hard going for 25 mins

Cheers

Going to take me awhile to view the video, got slow access to the forum at the moments

Ignore the blower

That's seperate fault

Thermal fuse has blown in the resistor pack

 

[koalar]

Is the handbrake on, the. Light not on except to test the bulb

Not worried about blower was just to show all incase it helped. Handbrake is off. What fuse has gone ? Where would I locate it

 

[garryrussell]

Handbrake on. The steering lights on then goes off then pings back on

Thanks for the videos

It's not something I have seen before

For a start the behaviour of the dash digital display in the two video clips is different

Clip one

Comes on only when the engine starts

Clip two

It comes on with ignition on, which is correct

Also in clip one

Also in clip one the EPS light goes out when the blowers are turned on

Is this consistent

Do you have jump leads and access to another vehicle

Yes

The battery is charged and was jacked up yesterday on front. Did lock to lock.

 

[koalar]

Lock to lock fine I suspect , because now we seen the video there inconsistencies in the operation of the the electronics

 

[garryrussell]

The digital display has been faulty for quite some time and the blower so not connected problem with the steering. Whilst jacked up it goes as it should lock to lock but is harder when started a running. I think pump but don’t want to jump in. On my diesel the pump would cut out but on restart was fine and was like it for five years

 

[koalar]

Yes

Try battery plus to battery plus

Battery negative of the other car to the drivers side engine mount, this bit that actually bolted to the frame

Start other car and test a few times

There's no pump, it's all electric
