Hi Folks,
2011 Leaf, 65k miles. The 12V battery was JUST replaced (like a week ago) ... seeing that this can cause a lot of problems so I thought I'd mention it.
Regardless of SOC, my car has over the past week, sometimes had power steering. I first noticed it while driving. The PS light came on and sure enough, no power steering. I continued driving and noticed later in my trip that it was working again.
Later, sometimes the car will start with PS light on and it will stay on... no Power steering. Other times it'll work from start throughout the trip. Others it'll come in and out. Lately it's been more "out".
I've noticed when I power the car on into drive mode, I'll hear a "click click click click click" right before the PS light comes on, as if it's trying to start it several times before giving the error.
Just spent a fortune replacing the onboard charger and have decided I really need to try to DIY it before going into a shop again.
THanks in advance!!
