#5 of 5 TRACKER STEERING PROBLEM, SOLUTION! by eskymopack Apr 15, 2009 (6:58 am)
I had a similar power steering issue as many have here. Feels like you've lost the "power" in the P.S. Hard spots as you turn the wheel. Well, lifted and inspected everything from the rack & pinion to all suspension parts and steering knuckles and shafts, no problems. Looked at the P.S. Pump and noticed in the back of it, is a single wire connector that is plugged into the "power steering pressure switch". Checked it, and it was corroded from the elements. It is a slip-on style single wire connector, so it was easy to clean off, and added some dielectric grease. Fixed! Instantly!!! Can imagine a dealership saying it was the R&P and it was going to cost $650.00. I'm sure they would've also cleaned that connection for that price!!!
