Fiesta power steering vibration

Power steering issue on my 2013 Ford Fiesta diesel (33992 km). Steering wheel vibrates/shakes, feels spongy. Error memory shows a fault, and steering effort has increased. Could it be a defective cable or plug?

Sounds frustrating. Is the fluid level okay? Have you checked the wheel alignment recently?

Fluid level's fine. Haven't checked the alignment recently. Could misaligned wheels cause this erratic power steering? I thought it mainly affected tire wear.

Yeah, could be other things, like the steering pump. But alignment's easy to check. If it's not that, probably best to take it to a shop.

I checked the cable and plug connections and found a loose one. Fixed it, and the power steering's back to normal. Error memory cleared. Total repair: 95€.
