Codes Again

[Dudethejudge]

Hi Guys,

I had my Check Engine Light on two weeks ago when I was driving on the high way (codes 12 battery disconnect and 65 Power steering switch failure). I didn't notice anything wrong with my power steering.

When I got home I noticed that the battery cover was pushing on the battery cables (battery slightly bigger than what it is suposed to be so it is pushing the cover). I disconnected the battery cables and reconnected them and the Check engine light didn't go off. A week later the light went off one morning untill last night, same senario driving on the high way.

I really appreciate any help.

Did you get a code 55, end of codes? If not, maybe you read the codes wrong. Anyway if you did read them correctly, you may have a wiring/connection issue. Check the power steering switch and make sure it is clean, free of debris, and seated correctly.

Thanks for your reply,

Actually I did get 55. I will try to locate the switch and look for any problems with it or the wiring.

On my 99 it is located on the back side of the power steering gear. You will need a 7/8" deep well socket (to prevent damage) to remove and install it. When installing, install by hand first and then torque it to 70 in/lbs. Oh before you do anything, disconnect the negative terminal first.
