How do you repair a severed power cord to an outdoor heat pump?
First you need to ask yourself how it got severed and if a cord is even a good idea. Maybe a different installation would be safer and more durable, avoiding further damage to the cord. You may replace the cord or splice an approved type of cord with a kit that includes an approved splicing device, for the proper size wire, and an insulation device that will be as good as the original insulation. Or you may strip, join and twist, then solder each of the wires and add sufficient insulation to each one and then to the splice itself. Poor splices are responsible for many fires. Under the National Electrical Code, you cannot repair (splice) a power cord unless it is a "hard service" or "junior hard service" type (i.e., S, SO*, SE*, SJ*, ST*). A spliced cord cannot be re-used in a different installation. It may be a better idea to replace the entire cord anyway. You may not repair the following types:portable power cables (types G*, P*, W), heater cord (H*), vacuum cord (SV*), dryer and range cords (SRD*), or lamp cords (C, SP*). These unapproved types must be replaced from end to end if they are damaged. :The * means any other letters or numbers that appear in the type label on your cord after the prefix (e.g., SP* includes SPT-2W, SPT, SP-1, SPE).

What does the power steering pressure switch do?
The switch's function is to signal the PCM when the power-steering system exceeds its normal operating hydraulic pressure, like when you cut the steering wheel all the way to one side and hear that hissing sound from the pump. The PCM then raises the idle speed and/or disengages the air-conditioning compressor to prevent the engine from stalling.
How does a power steering flush work?
Any machine that has water in often needs bleeding(have some water released) in order to let out any air or water in the system. The trapped air can cause the system to work less efficiently. This 'bleeding' can be done in things like radiators. For most systems you turn a special key that fits with the radiator for example in order to release the water.

What happens when Subaru Forester has no power steering fluid?
Since the pump uses the fluid for lubrication and cooling, running without fluid will quickly wear and destroy the pump. However, when it runs low you will notice the steering getting tight right away and probably caught it in time to keep from doing any real damage. But you do need to get the problem fixed before it drains down again. It is likely that you will just need a new hose. Any garage can do this for you.
