imjamesbtw Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Popped to tesco last night, got in the car to drive off, push the ignition start button and the car beeps at me with a message on the dash saying 'steering malfunction, service now'. Then the whole thing goes dead and the ignition won't switch on. It's just out if warranty, done 30k miles, not due for a service for 3k miles. Recovery had to tow me home (so embarrassed), they checked the fuses, battery and no joy! Anyone had this?? Not a happy bunny! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Sounds like a failed power steering pump but did you get any error codes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imjamesbtw Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 Its electric power steering, so i hope its just blown a fuse somewhere! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I know the mondy has 3 fuse boxes think the fez has 2 but can't say for definite. Hopefully it's that or a bad earth somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minkibiz Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Hi James, That sucks! Did you get your issue fixed? What was it in the end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieFarlie Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Always try a battery disconnect when anything like this happens. Cars have quite some amount of computer power doing so can re set so many things. Worth a try ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imjamesbtw Posted September 21, 2014 Author Share Posted September 21, 2014 Power steering lock malfunctioned. Something to do with the keyless go. Had to have a new steering lock and keys re-coded. Bit of a joke for a 4 year old (4th birthday the day after it broke), 30k mileage car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
