Anybody know where the power steering switch is located?
« on: August 20, 2009, 08:57:11 PM »
I've been in a battle with my check engine light for a few months.  The "engine lean" code drove me to my mechanic.  My stock pig tail for the bank 1 O2 sensor melted years ago and it finally caught up with me.  Had to have him find a new one to splice on (odd but 2 other tj's had different connectors).  On the way home I got a clicking sound from behind the steering wheel.  Check engine light came back on :twofingers:!!!  Jeep wouldn't start.  Disconnected the wires from the relay that was clicking and the Jeep started up?  I had a power steering switch code when my mechanic pulled all the codes?

it's on the high pressure fitting on the pipe that comes out of the p/s pump - you can't miss it - mine is broken btw (broke the plastic when i was reaching for something else) and had no issues with it - basically it increases the rpm by about 200 when you're at the end of steering and the pump works harder, w/o the switch the rpm will go lower by 100 rpm, it's enough to let go of the steering wheel just a hair and comes back up.
