Description of the problem | My 2002 mini cooper electrohydraulic power steering (ehps) pump will not shut off causing associated wiring to become dangerously hot (smells like an electrical fire). This is a common problem with the mini cooper and there needs to be a recall. I am trying to figure out how to keep my mini from catching fire. |
