I tried a fix that I found on another forum. I just wd-40'd the sensor and it went back to work. we'll see how long that lasts. I suspect within a few thousand miles I'll be under the dash again putting in a new one. THis one has made it 175,00 miles, so I should be happy with replacing it.

Any chance that the failure of this sensor could cause the pump to spike high pressure and blow the hose off the swaged fitting?? I have had that happen a couple of times over the course of 18 months.

The hose blew on the end that goes into the steering valve as I recall. I think it its more likely a faulty relief valve (I assume there is on somewhere in the system. I guess you can drive it with the hose blown. you would likely trash the PS pump though.

My WD 40 fix lasted about a day....now back to sluggish steering. I will probably have to break down and buy a new sensor.
