Car won't start-- EPS light on
My car has been in the body shop a for a couple weeks now. It was running fine before, and the past couple weeks until yesterday.
The Power Steering light (sterring wheel with exclamation) light came on, and the car won't start. I did a search and found that some people had success with resetting the ECU. I tryed this and the light is still on, car still won't start. When I turn the key it tries to crank up, but never fully gets going. Sounds like a car trying to start when the battery is out. We have it hooked up to a battery charger. Any ideas would be much apreciated as I am a hour and a half away from the closest mazda dealer. Thanks,
Will

It seems to be starting just fine now. Maybe it was the battery charger being on there for 2 hours. Maybe it was the reset. Not sure, but all is gravy now!
