hello

i have a problem with my power steering light . it comes on although,the power steering is fine . when it comes on ,if you full lock the steering it will go out but then it comes back on , in a few minutes .

it does not come on all the time . just about 1 day every fortnight .

its a diesel panda and the battery is in good condition . as it will turn the car over very quickly for a good few minutes , which is needed in this cold weather .

if i need a new steering motor ,does the motor need to be matched to the ecu? and how hard is the job to do ? ( i am quite handy with spanners)

thanks

Have to actually checked the battery, just because it starts ok doesn't mean it's charging correctly, or holding the correct charge

cheers again m.e.p for the speedy reply . i will check it tomorrow .

That's ok. I just hope I'm right as its the cheapest fix, if you know what I mean.

used a volt meter on the panda today . was reading 12.4 volts with the ignition on and 14.4 v with the engine running . but the light never came on today . sods law.
