You have to discon the battery cable before you start. Remove the coolant expansion tank. Remove the drivebelt and alternator if you have an OHV V6. Raise the vehicle on jack stands. Place a drain pan below the pump. From below, remove the splash shield and discon any brackets or ties that hold the hose to the body. After draining, you may have to replace the pwr steering fluid filter, located in the fluid line, then replace the fluid. A crows-foot wrench may be necessary to remove some hose fittings. This is a job for a mechanic with a power lift to be honest. Whatever you do, be careful not to contaminate the power steering fluid. Bleed the system after replacing the hose. The pressure hose is held in place by threads and not a clamp as the other hose has. Get yourself the Haynes repair manual 36075 '96 thru 2005 Ford Taurus & Merc Sable. It has a detailed step by step description of this procedure. Good Luck

SOURCE: Where to find power steering

It is difficult ot find it online to buiy the part but the switch alone itself will cost around $45. Pump some $90 and hose and other thing it will round up to $300 ... So i think he has given an nominal rate...

Testimonial: "Thanks for the quick response. Dealer says that is the cost for the part alone, to provide to my mechanic."

How do you change fluid in power steering system

You raise the front of the car & support it if necessary,
to put a bottle under it,such as an old washer fluid bottle

Then remove the steering pump return hose from the fluid
container

Put that hose into some plastic tubing & into the empty bottle

Remove the injector fuses, so the motor gets no fuel

Crank the motor & the old fluid goes into the bottle


Add new fluid Dex/Merc or Mercon V to make sure the
container has fluid as you flush out the old

When done,return the return hose,clean up & start the motor
Turn wheels lock to lock a couple times,put it on the ground
& check the fluid level

Change trans & power steering every 3 years or they will
fail for sure.

Those two fluids will not remove heat after 2 or 3 years
in service.

Power steering fluid foaming & backing up out of pump

that is signs of a leak
most likely cause is the rack

first start by draining the pump by removing the lower hose that is attached with a hose clamp
