Mark, To where do the wires from the solenoid lead? If to the switch on the power steering pump, then it is the PS Solenoid. If not, then it is the AC solenoid. My understanding is that you should have two, one for each. At least I have two. Keep in mind that the problem might not be the solenoid, but you could have a broken or grounded wire, or the switch might be bad.
