I believe others have had luck simply letting it dry out. There's also a trick to rock the wheel back and forth during startup to get the steering to work again, though I'll let someone with more experience chime in on that.

Yeah, Thats what happened to me last summer. I had to rock the steering wheel back and forth. Took about 3 weeks or so than it was fine. I thought the EPS was bad too.

See if the doing the steering wheel trick works and keep doing it every time just as you push the start button. You will feel the wheel go loose and than your fine till the next time.

rock it back and forth? I'm at my brother shop trying to diagnose the issue.

Yes, like you are trying to move the wheels just as you hit the start button.
