ive got a 2002 mini cooper s and like many of you my powersteering pump has cut in and out and then it moved on to always staying on. so i would do the whole battery disconnect thing and finally this week im pretty sure it threw in the towel and finally died so do i still need to disconnect for just incase and also kragen has a remn pump for only 300 is that a safe way to go and chang it my self or take it the the guys that know best? thanks

 

do it yourself.

order a reman pump.

change it out yourself.

i am local pm me if you have questions.

 

Now am I safe leaving the battery connected now cause the pumps dead? I was thinking that cause it would stay on before so it has that hot lead so am afraid that maybe it being shorted out insiode that's there a possablitiy of a fire or some type of damage.

 

You got that Kragen part #??

 

Well, the new pump will not be "dead" and you will be connecting that one with the power on. Besides, it will take all of 2 minutes to disconnect the battery to avoid any accidental damage, why not just do it?
