O-ring, Oil Seal, Snap Ring
Be sure to discard used parts, and always use new parts
for installation. Prior to installation, lubricate all seals and
rings with power steering fluid.
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.
