Hey there,

Got in my car on Saturday and the power steering light came on, now I have no power steering.

Checked the metal fuses on the battery and the one under the steering wheel. Battery itself is fine.

The weird thing is it works for a second after starting then the light comes on.

Plugged it in and im getting 01288 - Terminal 30 steering assist short with power - intermittent.

The garage seem to think it might be the pump, but how can it be if it works for a few seconds after starting?

This all happened after leaving it for a week. It was fine then after a week it wasn't. I took it for a long run to make sure It wasn't the battery either since I know it's electric PAS and it causes a big drain on the battery.

Just to understand things a bit better, what age is your Ibiza and does it have an electric steering rack or hydraulic power steering that gets its power from an electric motor-pump?
