Standard Ignition PSS17 Power Steering Pressure Switch

Power Steering Pressure Switch for Jeep and Dodge

Standard Ignition PSS17 is a screw-in power steering pressure switch built for vehicles that rely on accurate steering system pressure feedback. It uses a female connector, male blade terminals, and a 2-terminal layout to support dependable electrical switching in service applications.

• Power steering pressure switch with screw-in mounting
• Female connector with male blade terminals
• 2-terminal design for straightforward electrical connection
• Sensor contents for steering pressure signal input
• Built with copper alloy conductors for low-resistance electrical flow

Fitment and application details

Compatible With 1997-2002 Jeep TJ, 1997-2002 Jeep Wrangler, 1997-2001 Jeep Cherokee, and 1997-1999 Dodge Dakota. This Standard Ignition PSS17 is a direct-fit service part for steering systems that use a screw-in pressure switch design. It cross-references Standard Ignition PSS42 for the same application.

On Jeep Wrangler and Jeep Cherokee applications, the switch helps the steering system communicate pressure changes to the vehicle’s control circuit. On Dodge Dakota and Jeep TJ applications, the same part number supports the pressure-sensing function needed for proper steering system operation.

What this part helps address

• Intermittent or failed power steering pressure signal
• Steering-related electrical switching faults
• Pressure switch leakage at the threaded mounting point
• Connector or terminal wear at the switch interface
• Driveability issues tied to steering load signal loss

Installation notes and tips

Verify the connector style, terminal count, and screw-in mounting before installation. Inspect the steering system connector for corrosion or spread terminals, and confirm the replacement switch matches the original electrical configuration. For Jeep TJ, Jeep Wrangler, Jeep Cherokee, and Dodge Dakota service work, confirm the pressure switch location and thread engagement before final tightening.

Quality assurance

Standard Ignition states that this part is built with durable materials, copper alloy conductors, and 100% testing for mechanical and electrical switching performance. That testing helps confirm the switch operates as intended before it reaches service use.
