I went out after the heavens exploded. I checked all fuses, they were fine. I then noticed bluey white gunk around battery terminals. I took them both off and gave them a good clean. I checked the ignition lights and they all went off when I started the car, can't believe it was something so simple. I wonder if that might fix the power steering issues.
Thanks hondacivicnut 👍
Nice one! Brilliant that it's 'fixed' it. Electrical systems on cars are really sensitive to low voltage situations. If a system is pulling more power and the whole car can't replace this, it'll flag up an error. Even a duff battery or alternator can cause issues.
