Title: wire to power steering pump?
Post by: chet on July 19, 2005, 02:27:51 PM: OK while doing my bodylift on the weekend I saw a wire hanging loose by the power steering pump. There is a terminal on the pump which looks like it is supposed to be attached to(if the plug was not busted)

What would this be for? Sensor to tell if the system is empty?

Thanks!

On the other hand It has never been hard to turn either. I don't have AC, so where should this yellow wire be coming from if I were looking. Haven't needed it so far, but couldnt' hurt to try it.
