I have an '03 Cooper S and have had my Power Steering go out twice while on long drives , but next day would be fine. I figured that the PS Cooling fan might be the problem and replaced it. I need to know if there is a way to test it without endangering my life.Does the engine need to be at running temp. before I can check? Also, I did swap 2 relays that looked the same and it didn't make a difference. Any suggestions? Thanks

The fan for the power steering will come on each time the engine cooling fan is ON. Idle the engine, once it gets hot, the fan will come on, you can then check if the ps fan is on as well.
