how to fix this wire??

[hurricanecris24]

does any one know how to fix this or replace it?

its really not that important its just a pressure sensor mine broke and i never fixed it... but if you need to fix it just get one that isnt broken off at the end like yours from a junkyard and the splice the wires together

okay thanks

Sorry to thread jack, but thats the only electrical thing on the power steering pump. If the pressure gets to high what happens? CEL?

you know how when you turn the wheel and your at idle and you turn it all the way the idle jumps up a little bit? that little sensor is what tell the idle to kick up

What is the reason for the idle going up?

Mine is starting to burn/melt from the o2 housing.

What is the reason for the idle going up?

Because turning the wheels and using the power steering pump puts a higher load on the engine. Increasing the idle when it sees higher pressure at the pump makes sure that A) keeps a constant idle speed. B) Doesn't die when you have all your accessories going. Something like running the ac to defrost your windshield, while jamming out to the radio, while defrosting your rear window, while rolling down a your driver's side window, right before you light your cigarette from your cig lighter. Oh yea and this is at night and it's snowing, so your lights, fog lights and all your wipers are on. Then you go to turn into the drive thru.

Which would all be fine as long as he didnt adjust the power seats at the same time.

Does the connector pull off the sensor?? If so im sure you can find a new connector at a parts store. As far as the extra bear wires just use electrical tape over them.
You can also try and save the original connector by cutting the plastic coating off and carefully pry it open to get the old wires out and solder the new wires into it.
