Replace the PS pressure switch, try to clean up the wiring harness/o2 sensor. V8 that leaks power steering fluid out of electrical connection at top of metal hose fitting on high pressure side. The contact coasted to the side of the road and noticed the power steering fluid was leaking from the bearing of the power steering pump. The contact stated that while driving at 45 mph, there was odor of power steering fluid emitted through the vehicle vent.

Also, clean that harness good to make sure you get rid of all that fluid.ĭaddio is right, it happened to me on my 2000 4.7 liter. Tl- the contact owns a 2005 Dodge Dakota. You'll have to unplug that connector at the O2 sensor and clean that really well. If it hasn't shorted out the O2 sensor, you should be good. It will cost me over 700 to bring it in and fix it. Step 1: Find your Dakota’s power steering reservoir by popping the hood. now i only got a short time left before it goes out again. assuming that the p/s fluid leaked on the o2 sensor and i just need a p/s pressure switch, will the sensor go off for both errors if I change the p/s pressure switch or should I just replace both? thank you for your time my power steering rack is leaking very badly, pisses me off because i replaced the rack about 3 years ago when it went out.

Dodge dakota power steering fluid leak code#
My 2000 dodge dakota has an error code coming up for both the p/s pressure switch and an o2 sensor. the sensor will leak fluid down the wiring harness to the O2 sensor connector and trip the code when it is not actually a bad O2 sensor. When you check your power steering fluid level, make sure your Dakota is parked on a level surface with the 5.2 liter engine turned off in order to get an accurate reading. also, watch out for a MIL with a code indicating an O2 sensor problem. The contact coasted to the side of the road and noticed the power steering fluid was leaking from the bearing of the power steering pump. A small power steering fluid leak can make your Dakota hard to turn. If you have the 4.7 v8, it is probably the power steering pressure switch located near the power steering pump.
