hi all got a 1999 elite that had intermitaint power steering for a week.
the abs ecu has been changed about a year ago. this time no tc light or speedo probs with it.
had it it on a code reader at freindly garage giving a servotronic fault but scan gave very littel help other than jus test say there was a servotronic fail on test.
no shaw about pump as reving did not help when it was intermitaint. theres no leaks.
it did start after some welding was done under driver wheel arch buy brake lines for mot. but was ok then for weeks to now
any one got any idear where to start with power stering
have checked all fuses as well
as im at a loss as its not tipical abs ecu symtoms of a tired pump and reving at idel did not help. power aint fully gone but it greatly redused
ps noticed while under drivers arch there apears to be a vacum tube thats not conected to anything that apears to lead back to the back of car and posibly self leveling suspention.
should it be conected or not and if so where lol.

Paper clip trick only reads the engine ECU, nothing else, so wouldn't help with a power steering problem .. :(

could be the servotronic relay thingy giving up the ghost. behind glovebox.

red barron yes just seen relay location in guides.
be well worth swaping out that first
does anyone know the part number as cars 50 miles from me at the moment
and i just looke on ebay and theres none listed as servotronic most listing are buy part number
and ill try that first before attacking pump or ecu again as i dont fancey do the the dam abc ecu again
as it started just after welding under driver arch by the brake lines is there any wireing there or sensors that could afect power steering.
thanks guys
