Minis have an electric power steering pump that is prone to failure. When replacing the pump, our technicians advise inspecting the cooling fan because it is often the cause of the failure of the pump.

Mine happened when I replaced the battery, the electric locks stopped working and power steering, replaced one fuse for the
locks, now it opens the doors but will not lock.Flag ThisLike | 1 person likes this1 -

Pump was making a whining noise that would change pitch when the steering wheel was turned. Replaced pump. Would be interested to know more about the above comment on WHY the engine cooling fan may be a contributing factor to this pump failing?

Had to replace the power steering pump and pump cooling fan at approx. 56,000 miles. Also had to replace the cooling fan at the same time. The power steering pump fan and the cooling fan again failed at approx. 82,000 miles. In addition, the clutch for the A/C compressor failed at approx. 57,000 miles. Was seriously considering buying a newer model Mini but I'm not so sure that I want another one!

Power steering was going in and out for awhile. Then it completely went out draining my battery when I shut the car off because the fan would stay on.
