Hello!
Haven't had much in the way of issues, maybe within the past month, the power to my deck has blipped off for a second then comes back on and I thought nothing of it. Happened maybe 2-3 times - but then last night, it happened 3-4 times and then for the first time ever, the power steering "!" light came on, on the dashboard. My steering was affected, because the power steering stopped working. I pulled to the side of the road and slowed down, and then it came back to life again - and it was more or less fine for the drive home (I saw the power steering light blip on again, as my stereo also turned off/on).
I see there is a recall for Power Steering but that's only for 07-09, and mine is an 05.
So the first thing that comes to mind, would be, something to do with the Electrics. If it was just the power steering, I'd check the fluid, et cetera - but in combination with the stereo turning off/on as well, that makes me want to rule that out. The battery is also fairly new, only 2 years old.
What to do!
