    hello, basically my power steering and blowers have stopped working after something sparked under the dash, my saxo has the ignition bypass with the 2 brown wires connected leaving 2 red wires from the barrel not connected, was like it when i got it seems fine, no issues, just when i was poking about and tidying a few wires up im sure one of the brown wires sparked on the steering column and since then has knocked the blowers n steering out, checked all fuses several times and seem fine, couple needed replacing but still hasnt sorted it, am lowered 60mm all round as well so turning is not easy any ideas pls ?? must be something simple. thx

    It's a fuse

    Rear demister will be off aswel although you'll probs not be able to check that ATM

    lol i dont even use the rear demiser anyways dont think it was working anyway but my main concern is my blowers and power steering, i have pulled out every fuse 3 times at least and they are all fine, under the dash and the bonnet and all seem to be ok, im stumped.

    As above, alternator. Is your battery light on by any chance?
