Q:
can the power steering pressure switch cause the engine on a 1995 mustang gt to stall and not fire back up until pressure relivesAsked on 8/14/2012 by robert from orlando fla1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
Yes, the power steering pressure switch may be the cause as the switch is meant to bump up idle speed to prevent stalling whilst turning the wheel at slow speed or stationary. If you are stationary, turn the steering wheel. If the engine stalls, then it may be the power steering pressure switch. However, I would suggest taking your vehicle to a certified mechanic for a proper diagnosis before buying and having parts installed that may not (solve/be) the problem.Answered on 8/14/2012 by Vincent from AAP
Q:
i have a 2003 ford windstar and i need to replace the power steering pressure switch my question where is the thing i cant seem to find it?Asked on 5/16/2012 by tim from groveland florida1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
A power steering pressure (PSP) switch is located on the power steering pressure hose. It sends a signal to the powertrain control module (PCM) to increase idle speed for idling stability when power steering pump pressure increases above the set pressure value.Answered on 5/17/2012 by Vincent from AAP

Q:
What are the functions of the power steering pressure switchAsked on 4/29/2011 by lulu from homestead1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
The power steering switch’s primary function is to signal the PCM when the operating hydraulic pressure is exceeded by the power steering system and send appropriate signals to the PCM to prevent the engine from stalling. The idle speed of the vehicle is increased and the air conditioning compressor is disengaged. The power steering sensor sends a signal to the vehicle’s onboard computer that uses it to calculate the speed and if required engages the power steering switch mechanism.Answered on 5/20/2011 by Just Ask Jacob! from AAP

Q:
Where is it located & How hard is it to change? I have a 1991 ford f150 super cab pickup truck . just changed the power steering pump it died a while ago and still not power steering .Asked on 10/30/2010 by terry from kansas city missouri2 answers
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
From the power steering pump follow the lines to the steering box. One of them will usually have the pressure switch on it. Well this all depends on the skill level of whoever is removing or replacing the relay. Some may have a harder time than others who have experience.Answered on 11/14/2010 by Ron the Auto Parts Rebel from AAPA:
In regards to the switch, it is located on metal tubing section of the pressure hose coming from the power steering pump to the steering box. If your power steering belt is installed, power steering fluid is to the full mark on the dip stick you should have power steering. It may make some noise if it is not bled properly. The noise is created by air entrapped in the hydraulic fluid.Answered on 1/9/2011 by Crowbar from Cheapeake, VA

Q:
what does this switch controlAsked on 11/16/2009 by chris from charleston, sc2 answers
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
The switch's function is to signal the PCM when the power-steering system exceeds its normal operating hydraulic pressure, like when you cut the steering wheel all the way to one side and hear that hissing sound from the pump. The PCM then raises the idle speed and/or disengages the air-conditioning compressor to prevent the engine from stalling.Answered on 11/17/2009 by Rob from Advance Auto PartsA:
