Replace switch, fill back up fluid leave cap of, start car turn wheels lock to lock a few times to push air out top back up to correct level, repeat then put cap back on.
And away you go

Hi, its a really easy job, to drain the system just undo one of the pipes to the power steering pump, and then when you are done fill the reservoir with fluid turn on the engine and move the steering wheel side to side and the system will bleed.
