POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING W245 / B170 / 2007

[janz]

Hi all , ive had a warning message come up and lost the power steering - any ideas where the electric PAS motor is located to check connections and wd40..
Assuming cold damp weather is getting at electrics as the boot wouldnt open the other day
I also need to check the fuse - is the PAS fuse no24 ? any others associated with the PAS?

What is the warning message..?

If only MB diags and repairs were as simple as you suggest, good luck and do post back the solution.

found the pas motor (front of engine on bottom left) checked connections and gave a good spray of wd40 . PAS back in operation.

So happy for you. Did it have a fluid bottle sitting on top..?

 

[janz]

no, its on the same side as the washer fluid tank but lower down. I will post a photo if your struggling to find it.
