Power Steering Issues and Battery Coding in BMW 3
Summary of the thread
The main issue is a non-functioning power steering in a BMW 3, with a related concern about a battery code and a steering lock light. A weak or failing battery is suggested as a possible cause, and checking the battery voltage and connections is recommended. If the battery is fine, the alternator should be checked. Additionally, using a diagnostic tool like Carly OBD might help clear the steering lock light and code a new battery, depending on the vehicle's specifics and software version.

Start by checking the battery voltage and connections to ensure they are clean and secure. A weak or failing battery can affect the power steering system. If the battery is fine, consider having the alternator checked as well. Let me know how it goes or if you have further questions!
