Still getting an issue with getting the EPAS to power on. Got a new column and ECU that has only covered 33k.
I'm working through it slowly with the guy that sold the wiring kit. He is helping me find the solution.
Got the car set up in Blink today as well. Top guy.
Cheers for the offer, I'll keep that in mind. Yeah should get it sorted quite quickly. Will remove the faulty one tomorrow. Just been unlucky I suppose. Did you fit the heat shield back over the rack after installing the DCI rack? Is it needed if you don't have fluid any more?
I'm determined to get it sorted :-). Yeah only 30mins away from Wrexham. The Mrs lives in Llay so I go there quite a bit. Yes definitely mate, would be good. :-)
The column and ECU was off an 01 car. So yeah I do agree its probably done some work.
The rack was off a 05 car which had only covered 54k. The sticker is still on it. That's in good nick.
I phoned renparts today, going to get another column and ECU. She is giving me a call back to see if...
Well I fitted the 60 amp fuse same as the others have, rechecked everything and still not firing up. Opened the ECU up and it had a little burn mark in one place. Will be sending it back I think. Also the column has slight play in it when you hold the steering wheel and rock it side to side...
When the ignition is off all the little wires in the eBay kit have no power in them. When I turn the ignition on they have power in them. No it looks tidy, no visible damage
I live in the middle of nowhere! Lol. I'll try the fuse tomorrow. If it doesn't work I'll ask my mate if he can borrow me his ECU from his DCi. Are they a known fault in the DCi's do you know?
Cheers for your help guys. I've wired all the connections as the guide says. I'll try changing the fuse to a 60amp. I've also spliced the red cable running from the battery to the ECU to the old wire that clips into the ECU. That could also have an issue as Maplins said its only rated to 48amp...
No it hasn't blown, yes the earth is the same gauge. I've just read on the Internet that the fuse needs to allow enough amperage through for the unit it needs to run?
Right, re-soldered the 12v wire and still no luck! When I turn on the ignition it still doesn't click. But power is supplied to each connection. So the 12v does work. Stuck in the mud. Gonna punch the car in a min :-(
