Power steering fault

[doctor_tom]

Hi

My power steering would work intermittently.

It's worked fine the past few weeks now the dreaded red light is back on.

What should I check?

Thanks for any advice.

I've had an similar issue and it was caused by a small leak from the coolant hose above the power steering motor dripping onto one of the connections.

I think this is a relay issue, I had this once a while ago. Turn the ignition on and off at least 20 times and hopefully this will cure it. If this fails try a new relay.

Yes, I agree on the relay issue maybe even clean the contacts and replace.

However, it's easy enough to check the fluid level and it'll tell you if there is a leak.

Mine was the relay too, cleaned all the connections, and apart from one blip seems to be holding up.

YES clean the contact points on the relay and contact rings that bolt on to it .. even if there shiny n gold .. i did it with a dremol and sorted ... RELAY bud .... if its not that get back to us
