below are pictures of the power steering pump and the sensor attached.I need to know what the sensor called so i can replace it. it is leaking power steering fluid.

 

power steering pressure sensor?

 

I believe so, or power steering high pressure sensor.

 

do u know where i can buy one?

 

prolly a parts store.... lol jk bud..... try going to napa... if they don't have it maybe another local auto parts store.... if all else fails maybe make a run to the dealership and ask around there..

 

I've got a parts manual for a 2001 model and it doesn't show that sensor on the 2.5L. Autozone online doesn't reference it either.

I did find a power steering pressure switch listed at wholesalemopar.com

1999 - Jeep - Cherokee
Steering gear and linkage, Pump and hoses, Pressure switch, Pressure switch - 2.5 liter - 2.5 liter - $24.87

It may be something you have to get at a dealer.

 

Oreilly has it

thanks for all the info ill go and check it out

 

quick question. on the first picture where the wires are coming out of the sensor the orange rubber poking out can be pushed back in. And thats where its leaking from. would i have to buy a new piece that has the wires or can i fix it.

 

When you get the sensor , see if they stock a connector repair kit. Connector ends should be replaced when the are oil soaked like that. Napa, Autozone and Carquest all carry factory replacement connectors

 

and if they dont stock it just clean it with a little carb or brake clean.and push the seal back in

 

Ok im gonna ask the dumb question here, what it the sensor seeing? ie what is the point of it?

 

it lets the ecu know that its pumpin

 

is the orange rubber the seal? if so how far do i push it back in , and will it say in if i push it far enough? or is there something else thats missing that made it come out in the first place?
