Power steering red light after dashboard disconnection

Featured Replies

Hello,

As mentioned in the new user section I recently bought a 2012 Skoda Octavia Combi 2.

I had to replace LEDs on the dashboard cluster, because speed, oil temp and fuel needles were not lighting up (one burnt LED on each line). I’ve also decided to replace them with red LED (for fun) and yes, I’ve replaced the resistor to match the current draw.

After putting everything back together and reconnecting it to the car, I have one issue, the power steering red light is on… I drove a few miles and tried the calibration with full left for 2 seconds and full right for 2 seconds and back to the middle with no success (I know it’s supposed to fix orange light and not red one, but I had to try…) Although, the power steering is working well on its own. I mean direction is still on and definitely working.

I currently don’t have a diag device.

Only a small ODB reader, but it didn’t pickup on any issue.

I never had this issue on the first 2000 miles I’ve drove it for.

Does someone know something about this issue? I’ve been looking for a solution here and elsewhere without finding someone with my specific issue, maybe I’ve missed something.

Thanks

Best regards

Alexis
