    the power steering is not working at all..
    the heaters and rear dismister is working so it wount be the ignition trick

    what fuses are there to check and a diagram would be great,

    also must add

    there are no fluid leaks,

    also i know that fuse 2 is for power steering but what 1 is fuse to, top left, top right etc

    also a fuse diagram would be great for me to check other fuses

    you can sometimes hit and it will temporary solve the problem, but its a common fault,

    i have a pump for sale

    ITS FIXED

    when down the garage today and had a look it

    tried the ignition thing - no joy
    changed relays - no joy
    checked wiring - all ok
    checked for leaked - all dry

    when i was looking at the pump i give it a tap with the hammer on the metal side on teh drivers side and it kicked in but made a hel of a noise but did work, then it jammed again and no steering so i hit it again lol, worked again...

    so 2moz im nipping over the scrappy and buying a good pas pump for teh matter of £20-£30

    if you hit it and it work's i would not suggest usin it like this, as it may jam and that means the bushes are stuck hence smoke and possible a small fire to start with but can cause the fuel line to catch on fire, this is my choice but we all have our own opinions
