It helps the engine respond to higher steering load during parking and other low-speed maneuvers, which is important for smooth drivability in Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower steering pressure switch for steering system load sensing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThreaded switch mounting with 3\/8-24 in thread diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 male connector, 2 female blade terminals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5-volt electrical specification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorking pressure: 350; pressure limit open and closed: 400\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect replacement for vehicles that use Dorman 987-013 or equivalent OE-style design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDetailed Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Dorman power steering pressure switch is engineered for vehicles that rely on steering pressure input to adjust engine output at low speeds. When the steering system places extra demand on the engine, the switch signals the control system so idle quality and steering effort remain consistent. It is a practical replacement for worn or failed switches on Ford Flex, Ford Mustang, Ford Taurus, Ford Taurus X, Ford Freestyle, Mercury Sable, Mercury Montego, Lincoln MKT, and Lincoln MKS applications. This part cross-references Standard Ignition PSS54 for the same application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat It May Help Resolve\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eErratic idle behavior when turning the steering wheel at low speed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoss of steering pressure signal to the engine control system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStalling or near-stall conditions during parking maneuvers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarning signs from a failed internal switch component\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDriveability concerns tied to a damaged or malfunctioning pressure switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVerify the connector style, threaded mounting, and 3\/8-24 in thread diameter before installation.
