Power steering pressure switch
Power steering pressure switch
I have an 88 Base CL, 5sp., 2.0. I'm replacing all the worn out parts in the suspension and steering. I was getting all the stuff for the rack & pinion, power steering pump, P/S hoses and etc. I came across a listing for the power steering pressure switch. Do all 88's have them and if so, where can it be found in the compartment ? It also lists a Cooler for the power steering line. This appears to be a U shaped metal line going between the P/S Pump and Rack, that says its 75 inches long before it's bent. Is that under there in the Base models or are that an aftermarket item ? I know I should get under it and look myself but I'm nursing a bad back, so I'm depending on the mechanic to tell me. I looked in my Haynes and Chilton's, but can't find either one. I thought someone on here could give me a heads up and tell me first. Thanks !!!!!!!!

Re: Power steering pressure switch
I don't know if the switch was available on the 2.0's or not. I do know that it's on the 2.8's.
The cooler line runs under the floorboard on the passenger side. It's there on all models, all years.

Re: Power steering pressure switch
my diagrams are showing it as present on an 88 2.0.

that should give you a good idea of where to look.

Re: Power steering pressure switch
Thanks for the lead, I'll look there. Where can I find similar images for the 88', like you've shown, when not in Chilton's or Haynes ?

He has access to major repair manuals... Best you can do is try to find a 88 service manual for Beretta/Corsica on ebay and buy those. Some come in CD others are paper back.
Re: Power steering pressure switch
Appreciate the info, thanks !! I have the Chiltons and Haynes specifically for the Beretta's. Sometimes they aren't enough, like the P/S pressure switch. I couldn't find a reference for the 88 , 2.0. Thanks again !

Re: Power steering pressure switch
I mean like one of these...

Just search ebay for 88 beretta service manual, there are better condition ones for a bit more money. Well worth it since it's the manuals used in the dealerships when they were new.

Re: Power steering pressure switch
those manuals are the best!
Re: Power steering pressure switch
Again thanks for the direction. I just bought the Service Manual and the two supplements from Buy it Now. Can't wait to see them.
