Power steering not working!
Hi!
My 2005 Fit (or Jazz where I live, Norway) had som trouble after sitting still in the garage for six months. First it didn't start, so i had to replace a bad battery, then it started, but my intrument panel was all dark, after some days of intense fault searching I found that the panel had a short and it needed replacement. So i did. And now most was working fine, the car starts and all look good, BUT my power steering is all gone. Not working at all. I have checked all fuses connecting to the EPS but can't find any blown ones. And it's no warning light flashing in the dash. It's just dead.
So, anyone got any ideas what this might be og how I go about finding the fault? Could it be a electrical problem, could the control unit for the EPS be dead, is it the motor itself? Anyone?

Sounds good. Then I think I'll start with finding a replacement unit and see how that goes.
