I HAVE HAD MY 5TH GEN MAXIMA FOR 9 YEARS AND I RECENTLY STARTED DRIVING IT AGAIN AFTER 2 YEARS OF SITTING. MY POWER STEERING HOSE BLEW OUT THE OTHER DAY AND WHEN I REPLACED IT TODAY I BROKE THE POWER STEERING PRESSURE SWITCH. IM GOING TO THE JUNK YARD TOMORROW AND I NEED TO KNOW IF THE THREAD PATTERN IS THE SAME ON THE 4TH GEN MAXIMAS. THE JUNK YARD NEVER HAS ANY 5TH GEN'S, AND I DONT CARE IF I HAVE TO SNIP THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR AND REPLACE IT, I JUST NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE THREAD PATTERN. I CANT AFFORD TO SPEND ANOTHER $100 RIGHT NOW SO I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP. IF NOBODY RESPONDS TO THIS I WILL TRY THE 4TH GEN SWITCH AND UPDATE MY POST TOMORROW IN CASE ANYONE ELSE HAS THIS PROBLEM.

 

check with guys that do part outs - you should be able to find that piece, just check classifieds

 

SO I WENT TO THE JUNK YARD TODAY AND GOT A POWER STEERING PRESSURE SWITCH OUT OF A 4TH GEN, AND IT WORKED! I JUST HAD TO SPLICE THE CONNECTOR INTO MY WIRE HARNESS LIKE I THOUGHT. SO I SPENT $2 TO GET INTO THE JUNK YARD AND THE PART FIT IN MY POCKET SO IT WAS FREE! LOL, SAVED $104 SWEET!
