Power steering has become stiff??

[Raj Patel]

Hi,
Does anyone know more on this subject? I had to have my comfort module unit removed to identify an electrical fault that was draining my battery overnight. When this was re-installed a week later, the power steering has become still, like when your driving at higher speed. Its not like when the cars switched off, heavy steering, but 60% heavier then what it should be. Is this a coding issue? Who's experienced this? or has better knowledge on this?
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
Kind regards

Sorry I do not know, but do you have carista or similar on your phone that you could scan for codes with?
You can get the bluetooth ODB2 plugs on ebay/amazon.
You could also check the power steering fluid level, I think it is under the scuttle panel which is really easy to pop off, just 2 plastic bolts each side which you can undo with a penny.

Thanks for your advise. You won't believe it, but all it was? was a fuse had blown, and made it stiff.

Thanks once again

Which fuse? And how was this diagnosed?

It's the fuse that also controls your interior light.
