Power steering on my Tam...........
Discussion
My power steering has packed up, it went pretty much instantly. The guys at RG have sent a relay down, I've replaced it, but no joy. Could it be a fuse ? There are no apparant leaks anywhere. Will call them again tomorrow and have another chat, but was just wondering in the meantime if anybody has any bright ideas or has experienced the same thing ?!
Check the fuse: http://www.varleyhyd.com/fj062.asp#Power%20Steer
Cheers for that. Didn't think of checking this. I click on power steering at the top and it takes me to the right place on the pages, except there's a bloody great picture stuck in front of the text... ! Tried copy and paste the text behind but it disappears, any suggestions................

Power steer; Peugeot part; main fuse in battery box with green/yellow feed to relay in engine compartment.
Likelihood of failure;
Fuse No.36(shared with Lambdas) in drivers panel; This is shared with Lambda heaters this is the feed to the grey relay in the engine compartment.
The main 80 amp flat fuse fuse is in the battery compartment on the n/s behind the wheel. Jack up and remove the two screws and cable tie to remove the cover, look for the black plastic rectangular fuse holder on the red cable with a black plastic connector in the middle
remove tape and open cover to check the fuse for continuity.
The supply to the power steer relay has a connector with a green/yellow control wire from the ECU is in the battery box; open the connector by cutting the cable tie, Check this connector has continuity.
The relay in the engine compartment can be checked whilst you have the battery box open. Put a +ve live supply from the battery to the green wire to the relay. The pump should operate without the ignition on if relay is OK. To replace the relay push the tabs back with two hands then with the third! pull out the relay. The pump and relay is from a Citroen/Peugeot405 Cable colours :- 1 signal green/yellow
2 -Neg ground/black
3 +ve supply to relay red (80A fuse)
5 +ve to power steer pump
The steering pump cable from the relay has a connector and can be tested with a suitable heavy duty cable from the battery; 2 +ve 0-ve
