As you can see the open hole, the fitting popped out when I was removing the hose and now it is stuck in the threads, is this the elusive power steering pump??? ORRRRRR?????

Could be time to ditch the PS. Just makes an FB run better. And 50-100 lbs. lighter.

Yes there is a switch attached to it, and this "thing" is attached to the power steering reservoir as the photo shows, it was leaking and now I know why. I just cannot figure out what it is and Mazda has discontinued the power steering pump which i thought lived on the steering gear?

to my understanding the p/s setup tends to leak more power to you if your going to get it going. Honestly my wife drives mine every so often with no p/s and her lil 5' self has no issues ... just sayyin
