IEEE withdrew IEEE STD 200/ANSI Y32.16 covering formation and application of reference designations for electronic equipment, which applied to most military electronics. Did any document take its place as regards section 8 requiring marking of ref designations on equipment?
I am an electronics engineer. PS line failed on older car. Very big job to replace. I propose to short circuit the PS pump to stop growl, and drain rest of system. This is a small Ford rack and pinion system. Steering may be harder, but can this cause any mechanical problems?
