Hi, can anyone help me with these faults.

1. can lock the car fine on the fob but as soon as i try to unlock the car on the fob the lock goes up and down about 5 times and then stays LOCKED so i have to use the key in the lock to get it open??? tried the key reset to in the iginition does not work on my model.

2. When driving the steering is EXTREMELY light going left and feels normal turning right. When driving in a straight line the steering turns left quarter of the way on its own. The wheels on the car are badly kerbed up and damaged. Poss tracking??? or power steering on its way out??

3. Airbag light is on. how do i turn it off? tried disconnection both terminals on the battery for 35 minutes.

Anyway advice mch appriciated.

Thanks

yea its a corsa c.

So it needs a new steering rack? rather take the airbag bulb out than pay a stupid price to remove it.

Any thoughts on the central locking problem??

Not totally sure about the rack, heard something floating about on MIG about the torque sensor on the EPS columns, apparently has to be adjusted...

Are you sure your steering isn't just normal to the left and heavy to the right, i know C's are very light on the old steering from my expierence...

I'll have a look for the article on the EPS columns for you...

EDIT - Have a look here mate: http://www.migweb.co.uk/forums/other-mechanical-electrical/344487-corsa-electronic-power-steering-information.html - might help you decide whether it might be that or something different, it gives you the common symptoms...
