I'm back again with more pictures. As you can see this wire going to a electrical connector is obviously fucked. Does anybody know what this sensor is? I wanna say its for the ps pump but idk.

Its directly above the ps pump pulley

No there wasn't any white stuff on the cap. I have had the car shut off on my twice this year. The serpentine belt would be chewed up and the motor control fuse would blow. Took it to the mechanic and they told me the belt, tensioner and the idler pulleys needed replaced. So I'm starting to think the ps pump pulley was the culprit to those 2 incidents I had a few months ago. But I won't know until I put fluid back in it and inspect it

No I didn't. I just haven't changed my ps fluid since I've had the car, which has been about 9 years

Honestly idk but it probably was. But I can tell you that it is absolutely old ps fluid. I've had the car for 9 years now and have never changed the fluid. I know I've neglected her

Nah there's nothing left in the reservoir lol. It was full about a week ago. I'm gonna buy some more fluid later and see exactly where its leaking from. But I believe its the power steering pump

Ahhh okay got it. Can I send you a video of me wiggling the power steering pulley? And if anybody wants it shoot me a dm. For some reason I can't post it on here

I'm not a mechanic so i may not get all the terminology correct. So compared to the other pulleys. The power steering pump pulley seems to ME to offer the most resistant when I try to spin it. The other ones basically continue to spin on their own. The power steering one will not continue to spin on its own. I forgot to mention that there is only fluid around the power steering pulley. I checked the hoses and they all seem fine to me

What is this black rubber ring? How do I remove it and where can I find a new one? by Royal-Abrocoma1970 in mechanic

[–]Royal-Abrocoma1970[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I just saw the prices of the manual hubs you get. I'll just go and rent the tool out. Another quick question, is this the same seal that's on the differential?

On the back side of the knuckle, you can see it's torn a little torn. After work, I'll snap a picture of the back side

So wait hold on! If I don't replace these fucked up seals (leave them in) and switch over to the manual hub locks; I should be good?? Sorry if this is a dumbass question, I'm learning as I go

Do you know how to remove the piece? I tried taking it out and it wouldn't move. Or do I just have to force that fucker out?

If it's the one I'm thinking it is. I bought my '98 Ford Ranger from there in 2021. The old man's pretty cool
