I have a really wierd starting issue with a 2011 Ford Ka tdci. If I jump in and start up the battery warning light stays on and the electric steering doesn't click into action. The battery is however charging at 14v, If I restart but only within 20 seconds everything is fine. Even if I just click the ignition on then off then start it runs fine.
I have back pinned all the wires on the steering unit and there are no differences between either scenario. I have also fitted another steering unit but the issues are the same.
My autel scanner wont recognise the Ka but does as a Fiat . Only odd thing I can see is that it shows the engine status as parking, starting then running when its fine but remains at parking when running and with the faults.
