I have an 02 mini. I have changed the power steering pump, alternator, and battery. My battery still does not hold a charge. My ABS and ACS lights come on intermittently. Mechanic thought draw on battery was coming from power steering pump. They disconnected. Still have electrical issues. Thoughts?

You may have a parasitic draw. You'll want to monitor the draw on the battery when the vehicle is asleep. Here is a list of the specifications (E90 is similar to MINI): http://autotechdiagnostics.com/?p=185
Once you confirm there is a draw. You will have to isolate the circuit with the draw. Then determine which components on that circuit is causing the draw You can isolate by removing fuses. be sure to have all the latches on the doors and hood closed (pin switches) so the vehicle will sleep during testing. If it wakes up, you will have to wait until it goes to sleep again. - Nick |
