One of the codes on the 2001 Dakota 4.7 I just bought is a P0051, power steering pressure switch performance. I look for the sensor and it’s missing, replaced by a bolt, and the connector is hanging in space. Obviously the answer is buy a sensor and replace it, my concerns are that because the previous owner just jammed a bolt in there, are the threads destroyed? In which case a new sensor won’t just thread right in and seal. (It is leaking currently, but my experience with bad threads makes me afraid to disturb it more) Anyway, on to my question. The code says “switch”, not “ sensor”, so that tells me all it is is a “you are out of fluid” light, not a sensor that changes pressure or anything like that. If it is just a switch, can I just jumped the dumb thing out instead of buying a sensor? Lots of cars don’t have that sensor and work fine.
