Sounds like your power steering driver or relay have given up the ghost dude, there located in the front trunk, take out the spare wheel and plastic cover there located at the top right there will be a black box with a barrel type relay get the code off the top and post it I mite have the one you need spare in my garage

Try turning the ignition on and off quickly, about 20 times. That should free the relay up if it's stuck (very common issue by the way).

Same here, mine did it around FOUR YEARS ago and not done it since.

I used to think this 'fix' was a quick & temporary bodge and you'd need to replace the relay to properly fix it - not so
