THANKS CATSON (HELP)

Think we have been here before, yes?

If its not the sensor, nor the seperate wiring loom going from the sensor all the way round to the pump then it is a defective pump.

How has the wiring been checked?

hi

Thanks for getting back.power steering pump was tried on another car and light went out no problem ,pump is a recon. unit from BBA-Reman,amy other ideas

Yes then you have asked before.

There isnt anything else on the sensor circuit. How has the wiring been checked?
