Just how dirty is it under your dash?? Maybe you could vacuum out the inside of your car once in a while. I've seen dust, but nothing like what there would be under the hood. It seems like a circuit breaker or fuse should protect the motor if it gets too hot.

I had a full size '69 Ford van that had no power steering, and that was OK out on the road, but it was very hard to park.

"Power" brakes run on vacuum. Just how much power can they rob? Especially for a hyper-miler??
