Please Help me Identify
When looking at the engine from the passengers side, below and to the left of the timing belt cover there is a wire that goes to a plug there. The wire is blue and black(but has black wrapping around it). I found that mine has been cut in half. Anybody know what this is?

From what I CAN see, looks like the Power steering pressure switch. Is the component it plugs into on the power steering pump, or line?
Those shiny aluminum lines are AC lines.

I don't think it is, but its hard to tell because of where its located. At least it doesn't look like the pictures of those switches when I google them. Thanks for looking.

JSM1284 You were correct. Thank you very much. Its the Power Steering Pressure Switch. I tested by turning the wheel at idle and the RPM's did not bump up, instead they dropped. I believe this is the function of that switch, to bump up the RPM's when turning the wheel. Is it vital that I replace it?
