battery went flat on the car, i think the lights got left on,
anyway ive put a new battery on car and now the power steering wont work ive had a look in the fuse box and cant see any popped fuses, but im unsure of the correct fuse for the power steering.
could it be anything else other than the fuse ?? like or is it just a coincidence that the pump has fucked ??

i think the car has eps not 100% tho need to check

does anyone know the correct fuse to check ?

also any ideas how to test pump if i need to check ?? or help

Had a quick search about Astra Owners Club and there does seem to be a link between battery failure and the PAS system.

Alternator may need checking, which may also be the cause of the flat battery.
