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.
