    I just purchased a 2001 town and country minivan. It has minor
    problems, the rear wipers don't work, the front water pumps don't work
    but I figured that was easily taken care of. However, several times
    now, I have started the car and had no power steering. It has taken
    either several restarts or turning off EVERYTHING - radio, fans,
    lights, etc and then I pull out, the steering is rather heavy and as
    soon as I get going it is ok. (Those times when I first start, the
    steering is impossible).

    What should I have the mechanic check. Is it a battery or electrical
    problem that might also affect the wiper pumps?

    Any info would be appreciated.

    check the reservoir and make sure the fluid level is correct. I have a 2005
    that has under 7k miles on it and it has a leaky rack. We are waiting for a
    new rack to be available so that we can take the car back to get the rack
    replaced.
