Sam7,

Thanks. That solves the mystery. The next part of the equation is the prior owner said he replaced the switch and it 'froze' again. The switch will not turn on or off. It is stuck. Sounds very strange to me. Especially if that was the second switch. I am going to monitor steering. Could be that is all that is going on here as well.

Re:turning the steering wheel. I haven't really tried turning it while stopped. Generally I'm moving at least slightly while turning. There is some resistance when barely moving but I think that's because of the size and weight of the tire/rim and surface resistance.
I agree with Jon regarding turning the steering wheel when stopped. My practice, and recommendation, is to always be moving a bit when turning the steering wheel. It is much easier on all the steering components. This is especially important on a "grippy" surface such as asphalt or concrete.

I can feel a bit of pulsing in the power steering, especially at slower speeds. It attribute it to a bit of fluctuation in the hydraulic pressure. I don't consider it to be a problem.

I was thinking that was all it was. I have driven other large vehicles and such with the same type of feeling.

Thanks,
