Installation of Auxiliary Power Cable for Power Steering Pump on Fiat Croma

Model: Fiat Croma MK 1 - Years 2005-2010
Part: Accessory kit

If the steering suddenly becomes stiff and the power steering warning light remains on the dashboard, first check the fault memory in the electro-hydraulic pump control unit. If the error code is C 1001 Power Supply Voltage, then the fault is likely due to a poor connection at the power supply socket of the pump itself. It often happens that the socket tends to burn out, so it is advisable to purchase an auxiliary power supply cable, which is approximately 2 metres long, with a new socket on one end and two eyelets on the other to connect directly to the battery, one to earth and the other under the 80 Ampere fuse, disconnecting those from the original wiring.
