The tool box is out, looks like we are working on something today.
I show you step by step on how to replace POWER STEERING PRESSURE SWITCH OR SENSOR on this 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis, Ford Crown Victoria, Lincoln Town Car. Easy to follow instructions with basic tools. So easy you can do it yourself! I believe in you. Save a ton of money by doing it yourself. If you are experiencing noise coming from under the hood or feel that the steering wheel is stiff or choppy don't think the worst, most likely it's a simple fix like this. Look to see if there's puddles or leaks on the ground under your vehicle. pretty easy fix and took me about 15 minutes to switch out. make sure to add power steering fluid and turn the wheel back and forth to get the air out of the system. YOI CAN DO IT I BELIEVE IN YOU!!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
My mobile mechanic thought I need my entire pressure hose replaced. Thanks to this video, I replaced my pressure switch by myself! Thank you!
The panther platform does not use Power Steering fluid, it uses Mercon V Transmission Fluid as power steering fluid. Make sure to add the correct fluid.
Thanks for stopping by, for whatever reason I was in a hurry and missed that part, I will be changing it out completely for the Mercon V. Thanks again!
YES !!! ALL Panthers require the MERCON V Transmission Fluid for the Power Steering Systems.
These systems are very sensitive to the VISCOSITY of the fluid. Aftermarket "Power Steering Fluid" is NOT recommended.
I use and recommend the CASTROL "TransMax" Synthetic MERCON V Trans Fluid -- with Trans Filter (Motorcraft) changes at 35,000-mile intervals. For MAXIMUM trans life, a B&M Trans Cooler was installed, and a B&M Shift Kit.
EXCELLENT performance and operation -- now at 183,000 miles.
Good catch, I didn't pick up on hearing a 'Nube' mechanic say power steering fluid... I call it the same thing but grab the Mercon :)
Could this by why after I changed out the pressure switch, that it feels like there’s a lot of pressure still in the system? I used aftermarket power steering fluid (as recommended by a guy at auto zone) and now it’s like the power steering doesn’t even work when the tires are on the ground. Works fine when the vehicle is jacked up

Just a tip, use mass airflow sensor cleaner instead of break cleaner since you’re working around a harness
True, didn’t think of that! Thought I’d just wash it off with the brake cleaner! Good tip thanks 🤝🏼
@@LoveWhatYouDrive it’s funny, just yesterday i was cleaning around my exhaust manifold and i got brake cleaner all over a harness 🤣
@garretrobinson1888 😂 it happens
My 04 is making a lot of noise on the power steering pump when it’s cold, checked the fluid level and it’s fine, no leaks. Maybe the previous owner put a thicker oil than he should.
Thanks for the video, I will replace the rear shocks this weekend, found your channel while looking for that.
Thanks for stopping by! Hope it helps!
I changed those two return lines and then it was leaking. I got so annoyed. Yes it was the sensor in the end that was leaking. But based off the mess, it look like it might have been spraying out from one of the host connectors when and turn it was in fact the sensor
I’m glad you got to the bottom of it!
Thankyou
You’re welcome
Awesome thank you!!!
Thanks for stopping by! You’re welcome!
Excellent Thanks!👍
You’re welcome thanks for stoping by!
Nice work Art.
Thanks Chuck! 👍🏼
I just capped mine off but i wonder if that was a bad idea. It's not leaking and runs good though
I was thinking about that. And I personally don’t know the function that this sensor serves. Because when It was leaking and all my power steering was gone there was no chime, nor light no warning no nothing….i get it, it’s a pressure sensor but if all pressure is gone or too much pressure then what the purpose of it…🤷🏻♂️ if yours is going well than insure someone can use this info for their situation. Thanks for stopping by and sharing 👍🏼
Mine just started leaking on my 06 grand marquis with 21,800 miles. Im just happy it wasnt the pump.
I was also so relieved it wasn’t the pump or the steering rack! 💪🏼
Bro! Them 'Car Ramps' are stupid dangerus to use... Get some jack stands and a floor jack and make sire your on level ground... Don't want 'What You Drive putting you in the Grave :)
lol, those ramps flipped out…I’ve been using ramps forever when I started driving at 15…then switched to jack and some jack stands, now I need some jack stands to go with the rest of the equipment!
@@LoveWhatYouDrive Right! We Panther Guys work on our own cars, So Folks if your new to the Panther Platform... Tool Up! The main reasons I own several Panthers, other than the Freaking Comfort, is this are the easest cars to work on and parts, for the most part are cheap and everyone stocks parts :) Even for my old 1972 F-Series trucks!
Preach it Brother! SAFETY SAFETY SAFETY. Everything else can be replaced.@@danielmcqueen1024
Yup listen to your boy don't need you on the dumb ways to die vines 💀
“It was at this moment I knew I…gota get some stands, and I did!” 👍🏼
Nice job bud
Thanks! 🙏🏼
Hi Art.I just want to say that 17 -19 mm( without 18) is normal even in UE.I remember older sets of tools doesnt not had 13 mm but only 14mm.
Hey Bart, when I bought it I didn’t notice it. But when I need it, it’s not there…😂
@@LoveWhatYouDrive Fully understand 😉.
@TheBarth79 hey Bart I’m going to write you an email
@@LoveWhatYouDrive Ok.
I have a 2006 Vic police interceptor. And I don’t see that on mine vehicle. I recently got my pump replaced like earlier this year. And I don’t see where that part is
From further research some if not most of the p71 crown Vics have a dummy plug in the line and the wired plug should be somewhere tucked away in the frame. That is interesting though
@@LoveWhatYouDrive I still don’t know where that’s located when you say the frame lol.
@kennywarren2317 I’m guessing where the switch is located on my car, there should be the wire. I’ll post the things I read on crownvic.net
“OK, I see. But why is it plugged in to that dummy plug on the frame? Seems it has always been plugged in there. Is there really no pressure switch? I only see the gold-colored bolt. No switch”
www.crownvic.net/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=2806000
Do some deeper research!
Hey man if you haven’t got an answer yet you have a pressure switch solenoid like mine. Years 03 - 07 or 08 i believe have it similar to our and its located on the rack and pinion body. Specifically located a little off to the right under your oil filter. It will have a wire connected to it coming from behind the power steering pump.
I installed the universal line when I did a repair the new line did not require the sensor, and the sensor had a blank place in the frame where to plug it in, weird.
I’ve seen that before I think on a crown Vic, some have some don’t. Don’t really know whats it’s for if it was leaking I lost all power steering, and it didn’t do squat.
Does this sensor cause difficulty in the steering wheel, even though there is no leakage?
I’m not sure on that. Why I say this is because even when all my power steering fluid leaked out, no light no warning nothing was given sensor or not. I lost complete power steering ability. It is a pressure switch which should regulate pressure or keep an eye out on the pressure one of the comments below Says the guy took it out, completely plugged the hole and has perfectly fine power steering without issues. I did not do extensive research to figure out the full function of the pressure switch. I first thought it was my power steering pump, and technically it was making noise because the fluid leaked out, I would start with the switch either replacing it or plugging it and then moving yourself up to the pump, the belt, the fluid reservoir and then new lines that run power steering fluid through.
I got a '05 cvpi, got the code c1445 under a variable assist power steering code, but i dont have this pressure switch on my vehicle, would it have to do with this somehow?
I didnt have any codes or anything when this happened..I’m not sure why it’s even there if it didn’t do anything when all my fluid leaked out and lost all my power steering.
Good video, alot different on a p71 to do. I woulda used transmission fluid (mercon v/lv) basically just get valvoline maxlife high mileage. Nothing wrong with using the clear stuff, its all hydraulic fluid in the end. Transmission fluid just seems "quieter".
Good to know, thanks!
ALL Panthers take "MERCON V " Transmission Fluid as the juice for the Power Steering.
Mercon V is specified for a REASON, which is that the Ford Power Steering systems are very sensitive to VISCOSITY of the fluid.
The notion that "it's all hydraulic fluid in the end" , and that you can go ahead and use non-MERCON juice is NOT a practical idea.
MERCON V , baby !! 😁
IMO, ramps are fine but have to line them up correctly and don’t run off the platform, then chock the rear wheels.
I always use MerconV in trans and PS for my 05 Merc and 05 Linc TC.
also, I ordered my pressure switch online and incl shipping and tax, $20.68, 3days.
I agree 💯
I don’t have a problem with ramps, for me ramps are easier and quicker then jack and stands…
