Re: steering box question

That came on alot of the lower-HP cars; it's a high-pressure switch; it shut the AC off when the wheel got cranked hard, to keep from killing the motor.

Re: steering box question

Some will have both an A/C shut off and a throttle kicker wired into the low pressure switch on the steering box. Both wired through the A/C harness. One normally open the other normally closed. Either way, low steering box pressure breaks line to compressor clutch and actuates throttle kicker solenoid.
