What is this sensor for
« on: June 27, 2010, 04:18:15 PM »
I found this sensor broke on the drivers side of my black 90 when i was doing my brakes. it plugs into the steering box, and jonpro had a guess that it sends a signal to the ecm to raise rpms while turning. what do you guys think and what is it called so i can replace it.

Power steering pressure switch. They're break pretty often on the older cars.
