Lots of lights!!
« on: September 23, 2013, 10:40:09 pm »
Hi guys I'm having a bit of an intermittent problem. Tonight (for the second time) when I've started my car I've been greeted with three lights on the dash. The first is the ESP light, second the flat tyre indicator and the third is the steering wheel icon. When this is happening the steering goes floppy and after I tight turn the wheel it won't spin back (if you know what I'm saying). I've checked all tyre pressures to rule out the basic things, these lights usually disappear after 20 minutes or so of driving and everything goes back to normal.. Any diagnosis from you guys before I plug it in this weekend??

Thanks Tom

Is your battery in good condition?
Without traction power is nothing!

Symptons of when you unplug your battery.
Verify the condition of the battery and the connections on the battery itself.
