Default Power steering pressure switch no connection

I have a 2006 Dodge ram mega cab the power steering is hard when you're at a stop you give it gas and I'll have good power steering so I got underneath it to look at the pump and I see that the pressure switch is unplugged and I cannot find any wire to plug the pressure switch into. where would I look to find it and would that cause it to do what is doing?

Maybe add a picture so we can see where you're looking.

This is the electrical connector for the pressure switch. There is nothing to plug into it. I’ve looked everywhere.

Yes it is. I’m planning on replacing the power steering pump and the pressure switch. There just not a connector for the switch. Just trying to figure out why. I’ve looked online and found nothing.

Might not be a bad idea to get a service manual for your truck, and see if anything interesting presents itself. It's possible that the sensor was never hooked up at all..... and it is for some optional package that your truck doesn't have. Of course, it may also have been modified by a previous owner.....

Do you have the electric power steering? Or is your pump ran by the serpentine belt?
