or could it be the fuse in the power steering pump, as there is PSP failier

dave, February 2008

Have had the same problem with it. I spent to weeks and about £300 and it still had the problem with it it was doing my head in so what I done is took all the plugs off the engine pull the fuse box out wiggle the wires at the back took the big plug off the back back panel above the steering pump it's a big plug loads of Wires again to it and put it all back on and put the battery wires back on and started it and power steering works perfect so it must be a loose connection somewhere I've not had no problems ever since hope this helps

there are 4 wires to pump red for permanant feed, brown for earth,blue/white to alternator but not sure where the black one goes. i am checking mine fully this weekend so hopefully a broken wire!

AIts common for the pump to fail and if use incorrect fluid,should be green.pumps are not coded so get one from scrappers its run through ecu also.

BIT OF SWEARING GETTING IT OUT..TESTED THE 4 WIRERS FOR BREAKS ..BLACK WIRE WAS DEAD SO I PULLED BACK THE PLASTIC COVER AND FOUND THAT IT WAS CORODED AND BROKEN..SO I SOLDERED A NEW WIRE IN AND REFITTED THE PUMP ..AND IT WORKED RIGTH AWAY.
