My engine light is on. I went to Auto Zone to check it out, and they told me that the power steering pressure sensor needs to be replaced. My question is where is that sensor located. I need more information about it please if you would.

On the rack will have to get from under car. Find the power steering pump. There will be two lines (hoses) coming from the pump. One will be just a hose with a clamp holding it (this is the return line) the other one will be a heavy duty hose and pipe (this is the high pressure hose). Follow this one till you see a sensor screwed into a fitting that is part of the pipe. That is the pressure switch.
