Hey, I've recently been doing a lot of changes in my setup and I noticed that a little wire on the wiring harness was just dangling and figured out that it had been pulled out of the power steering assembly.

I did a little looking around on the Factory service manual and saw that it is the, Pressure Switch connector. just not exactly sure if it's totally needed. I've seen a few shots of David buschur's engine bay and noticed that it's not connected. I have a pic showing you what I'm talking about


It is part number 1 in the picture.


here is david's car, it looks like the wire is not connected.

 

lol same thing i was asking the other day to my buddy....

mine acually got ripped out when my idler pully came loose and took my belt out i had an extra pump so i just replaced it

bump on a good ?

 

Hey ya'll, I just soldered the wire back onto the little tab that was left on the power steering pump. I hope this will be okay.....just dont want to start any fires lol it does seem like the solder does touch some metal that surrounds the tab that was left on the pump

ya'll think I should buy a new pump???

 

good ?. nothing i have experience but i would like to know as well

 

That's just the the switch ground that goes to pin 37 of 119 of the ECU that's prabably on a bookshelf any way. It just tells the ecu if the pressure switch is open or closed. Dike it off if EMS

 

^ and on stock ecu? needed or no?

 

I ran for over a year without it connected (riped out like yours) and it was fine. I only fixed it a few months ago cuz i got tired of looking at it just hanging there.

 

I think it's just there to bump the idle when steered full left or right.
