Help your engine hold a steady idle when you turn the wheel at parking-lot speeds with the Standard Ignition PSS13 Power Steering Pressure Switch, a direct-fit replacement for the 2000-2001 Dodge Dakota and 2000-2001 Dodge Durango. The switch senses pressure in the power steering system. When steering load rises, it signals the engine's control system so idle can be adjusted as the pump works harder. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
Signs this switch may need replacing include an idle that dips or stalls during low-speed steering, fluid seeping around the switch, or a check engine light. Diagnose the cause before replacing, because other components can produce similar symptoms.
