Glad I found this post. Today the EPS light came on and drove manual steering until I found the 'temp fix' with the clock fuse from you all. It is back to power, but now I'm reading that it will most likely reappear.
How's your battery? the EPS pulls quite a bit of juice from the battery, and right after cranking the starter if you've got a worn out or low battery it can set the EPS light off because there isn't enough power available so soon after starting.
When my battery took a nosedive during this winter I noticed that if I reset the fuse, started the car, and just let her idle in my driveway for awhile before touching the wheel, i could drive it without losing EPS.
I would try the free fixes before you start looking to replace an eps module. Those look expensive
