Fuel pump running, no key in ignition???
Hi everybody,
I have an odd question. I have a 2005 Mini S, and I had driven it earlier in the day. I had turned it off, locked it up and took off in another vehicle. I returned later, and when I walked up to the car I heard the fuel pump running???? Sounded like the fuel pump to me, it had that high pitch whine to it. So I jumped in and turned on the ignition, and turned it back off. The pump was no longer running at that point. Today I went to drive the car the battery is dead. Any ideas?? Any advice helps thanks. |
Are you SURE it's the fuel pump and not the power steering pump ??? I've heard of the power steering relay sticking and staying on ... I guess the relay from the fuel pump could be sticking on as well
|
I had no idea it has an electric steering pump. Do you know if it has an electric water pump as well? Thanks!
|
No electric water pump ...
|
Would you recommend the Haynes manual for this vehicle, or is there a more detailed technical manual out there? Thanks
|
I have the BMW one ... FAR supior to the Haynes
|
So it turns out, you were right about it being the power steering pump that was running the other day not the fuel pump...good call. So how would one get a hold of the BMW manual for it?? Are you a tech for them, and that's how you got it? I'm looking right now, but skeptical about getting ripped off. Thanks for all of your help.

I picked up my manual off of EBAY ... Also on Ebay there is a company that rebuilds the power steering pump ...
And this place as well: US Headquarters: BBA Remanufacturing Inc 300 Myles Standish Blvd Taunton, MA 02780 United States +1 508 822 4490 Fax +1 508 822 4491 us-sales@bba-reman.com I think it's $200 and a lifetime warranty ... Mini's cost is around $700 |
Thanks. I took th e Mini down today, and the dealer agreed to replace for free since I have only had the car for less than a week. Next time the pump goes though, I'm definitely sending it to the guys in Mass.
