Hi All

Could someone confirm if this is the air con pressure sensor, its located just down from the nearside headlight behind the bumper, If so does anyone have one to sell?

My power steering and oil sensor warning light is illuminated and I have no power steering. I carried out a scan and it brought up the codes below. I notices one of the 10Amp fuses(38) had blown so I replaced it and all seemed fixed ran ok.
I set off down the road a mile later smoke from the front of the car and it was coming from the attached sensor which was slightly melted, the fuse had blown again. I don't know if its down to the sensor being faulty or something that will be a bit more involved. Does anyone have any experience of this?
I saw a previous post about the wiring Loom chaffing on the bulkhead. I have checked mine and it looks fine, although I have not checked all the way through the bulk yet. I have the A2 E-manual but cant access some of its applications ie the wiring diagrams (I have a support ticket being dealt with).
It would be really helpful if someone could tell me location the earthing point for the Power steering. I dont have the luxury of a garage so have to work in the street so have to keep the stripping down to a min.
