Thanks guys got the answer i search it on google...

The PS pump wiring harness does sometimes need replacement:
Quote:
If the PS cable harness or connector is burnt or damaged it can be easily removed from a scrap MINI as it is only about 2 feet long with just 2 wires in it, only attached with cable ties (easily cut to get the loom out) and the other end, 1 wire is plugged into the bottom of the engine bay fuse box (the box is secured by 2 x 8mm headed bolts, remove them and the box lifts enough to unplug the connector) the other wire is bolted to a earth point on the chassis rail under the fuse box... (they are really thick cables, and carry alot of current so not worth trying to splice into your existing loom.) even a novice would be able to remove and refit this cable in around 20 minutes tops.

thanks...back to work friday payday

We're parting out wrecked MINI's so if you need a part let me know.
