Default Power steering pump fuse?

I damaged the power steering cooler on my 2007 caravan 3.3 and the replacement will not come in before the van needs to be moved. Is there a fuse that can disconnect the pump so i can drive it without burning out the pump?

I looked at a fuse map but couldn't see a way. If not, is my option to just insert a tube in a loop so the fluid recirculates? Towing is not an option as the vehicle is located in a remote bush camp.

Thanks!

no fuse
bypassing the cooler is an option.
how far do you have to move this?

About an hour and half drive on the highway unfortunately. I was under the impression it would be ok as long as it isn't too hot out?
