what is this connector?
Looks like a two pin connector I just noticed the other day. Also looks like it hasn't been touched in a while. I can't see anywhere it's supposed to connect to on around the power steering pump. Anyone know?

It was supposed to connect to a switch in the PS pressure line to let the ECU know when you were at full lock and thus loading the engine, but Ford deleted the switch in the late 80s I believe.

The power steering pressure switch was relocated to the high pressure line. The location is under the truck mounted to front cross member. It is in the U-turn the line makes.

The 4x4 appears to be working. I tried to spin tires on gravel and it didn't. A friend suggested from axle but I can't find a place for it. The hubs are vacuum and transfer case is manual shift. It's still belong there somewhere. Perhaps possi lock or something?

I started the thread about wire under truck after power steering. I received a suggestion which I tried and responded back about not the 4x4 wire. Some how along the way it got hijacked into other things. There is also the possibility that I am not understanding something about these forums. I recently joined.

That seems to be the case because the original post isn't at the top. Thank you for letting me know that and why.

are they MAF by chance? It may have something to do with 4x4 (Bigger tires, more weight, small engine ?) or you just simply dont have the OEM lines with the sensor on it, which I think you can buy them still if you have the connector it could be used. but it may have been a manual trans/C6 stuff only too hard to say. what I said about e4OD was about 96 service data, I guess it could vary lol
