I have an image of a particular part on my '96 Honda Prelude and I have no idea what it is. It's connected to the power steering and is some kind of sensor. Anyone have any insight?

And as father of the original poster on FB, I thank you very much as well! It is indeed in the hose, so I'm going with the Pressure Switch verdict. – user1508 Feb 12 '12 at 17:28

I am not positive from the picture but if that is screwed into the steering rack it's the Front sub-steering angle sensor.

If it's in a hose which seems more likely to me it's the power steering pressure switch.

Pictured below

Power steering pressure switch reports power steering high pressures to the on-board computer When not replaced, engine may die during hard turns at idle and check engine light may illuminate
