Swift Sport - power steering stopped working

[Meursault]

I have a Suzuki Swift Sport (ZC32S).

I went on holiday for three weeks. Came back, started car and it took a little longer than normal to start. That is not unusual in this car if it has not been used for a while, even though the battery is fairly new.

Went for a very short drive, realised power steering not working. However no warning lights.

Subsequently charged up battery in case a slightly flat battery was causing issues. Has not had any immediate effect (but I have not taken the car out for a drive, just did some dry steering).

Any suggestions as to what might be up? It seems unlikely to be a coincidence that this has occurred after the car has sat idle for three weeks.

Thanks.

Perhaps disconnect the battery for a few mins then reconnect. Might well reset everything. Low battery charge will probably have got things like the wheel position sensor out of sync. Other than that it might be time to get a code reader out.

Cheers. I will try that.
