Could someone tell me what, if any fuses could be responsible for power steering pump/ fan ? I'm certain I wouldn't be so lucky for it to be just a fuse, but worth a look.

 

There is a 5 amp fuse for the fan....in the cabin (on 2005+ refresh cars)...blows often when the fan gets stuck due to grit, plastic bags, etc...
The fuse/current limiter for the pump is on the backside of the underhood fusebox if I recall...a pain to get too. Rarely fails.

Our techs typically replace the fuse with the pump/fan when they do this job. Like mentioned, it is just a 5amp fuse for the fan. If the fuse goes, the fan stops and the pump can burn out, so for maybe a couple bucks for the fuse its definitely worth changing regardless if its blown or not. Who knows, it could end up saving you ~$900 on a new pump.
