    Just found this in the VX shop manual to help with identifying if the PS switch is bad:

    POWER–ASSISTED STEERING SYSTEM 2A–33
    "Pressure Switch Check the switch operation as follows: With engine idling and A/C on, turn the steering wheel fully to the left; compressor should interrupt and engine idle speed will increase. Shut off A/C and again turn
    steering fully to the left; engine idle will increase. If system fails to function properly, disconnect connector at the pressure switch and repeat system check while testing continuity across disconnected SW connector."


    I don't know exactly where this switch is but looks like it's at the bottom of the steering pump - wish someone has a pic

    Julian,

    Give Lisa a call. In the thread it sounded like Grif sent her some pix.

    Considering the source ... I wouldn't worry too much about that

    Mebbe you should call Grif instead. He doesn't have any 'tech pix' in his gallery, just 'glamour shots'. Hope he saved them elsewhere.
