No difference with second car and jump leads
Quite a big difference in the three video clips
This one
No battery charge light until cranking
No clock display at all
Oil light stays on much longer
No brake test bulb
Are they consistent if you start the car several times
Battery and brake are significant as both need to correct for the steering to work

It’s the same each time
it was cold start so oil light may have took longer. Display screen is mostly off and has been for over a year may be 2 years. Comes on intermittent but the power steering light has gone back off
At the power on self test
They don't look the same to me

Yes different most times, even the digital display not on. Blower sometime works perfectly then mostly only on 4. I just put it down to fiat wiring an electrics. My diesel was same
If electronics are dead, generally it stays consistent, occasionally they are temperature related
Generally damaged wiring, dirty connectors, poorly battery are often much more random in nature
Clock not working intermittently is very unusual, I know of two cases and you have both
Do you have both keys on the same keyring
The fact you have the clocks, battery, brake, abs, steering lights, all doing odd things points more to an underlying fault than the EPS in itself

The remote key played up so we use the ordinary key as easier,they arnt together
Didn't think it would be
It's an unusual fault and most people don't have two car
Something else eliminated

Thought I’d best update. After all the messing about I got someone to do a test with a decent bit of kit.it Said power steering motor so I simply put a new one on and bobs your uncle and ————— your aunt. Working perfect ever since. My advice is simply if there’s a problem with power steering go straight to the electric power steering motor in first place
First electric power steering motor I heard off failing on a panda
Pretty hard to get hold of one I suspect
In a fairly common failure on the Punto, which are readily available
Is the dash LCD now working correctly also

All working . No English videos or similar. Italian video was most helpful and a Chinese chap. Translator was needed on phone. Simple once you’ve done one.
