Power Steering Re-install Problem
Okay.. after two years of sitting my Rx-7 is going back on the road, New Brakes New Rotors... Yeah... alot of little things being fixed.. Well, I have previously had the PS pump removed. Well during the re-install I can't find the connector for the sensor on the bottom of the pump. I would really apreciate some info on where to look maybe a picture ?!?!

I know im probably preeching to the choir but if i were you i would not put the p/s pump back on creates to much draw on the eccentric shaft, and plus its not that hard to turn the car anyways

Yeah definately are preaching to the choir.. I just don't like the feeling without the pump in. I liked the snap turns that I could do with complete ease. My Rx-7 in particular is like a beast trying to handle in a parking lot. I rather not. I'm still looking for the answer. Its the sensor wire for the power steering pump, I have no clue where to look to find the answer Someone who's worked on Rx-7's might just read this and instantly know so.... BUMP.

there should be a single (white) plug that is sip tied to the wiring harness going up from the passenger sire and through the front bumper to the engine side cluster panel. right behind battery.
Thats on an s5 so I don't know if same for s4

Update.. Okay I have the single wire with a white connector... Problem. I my pump has a black wire with an almost oval Number 0 Shape to it.... They don't connect together. Would that be because I might have a S5 Wire Harness to my engine ? ( S4 car.. S5 ( sorta ) Engine ) If so.. I doubt it typing this I'm figuring on a whole lot of friggen problems if that was true. I probably would need a whole new ECU Right ? a S5 harness wouldn't be in a S4 car unless the ECU was changed right ? Anyone near lodi with a 86-88 GXL I might peek into your Engine bay for a quick " Ohhhh " realization on where the hell this plugs too
