What is this plug for was under the truck today and found it it runs across the crossmember and looks like the line it's on runs up to the oil filter area.

 

Sorry is a 2005 scab 5.4

 

I got an 05 will have to take a look when I do my oil change

 

Thanks that would be nice

 

Well got under the truck to change the oil and I didnt see that on my truck. If it is its prop under the snow and ice lol.

 

I think it's the power steering pressure sensor.

 

+1 .... It WAS the power steering pressure sensor till it got busted off ... Do you see a wire hanging close by that looks like it should be connected to something but isn't ? Also looks like the P/S line itself is a little twerked there. Do you get any power steering noise while turning the wheel sharp? Likely poor flow from that pinch. I would order a new line and switch from Rock Auto.

Like it use to look like this .....

 

You should be getting a code (no CEL) for it. Mine's intact, but apparently has failed, because I get a code for it but no associated check engine light. It doesn't appear to affect anything as far as driveability-- don't notice anything different.
