No. It should be on the pump close to the outlet.

Does the low pressure stream look right? Seem right? Operate as you
remember it?
It's possible the wand nozzle isn't working. On low, there is lots of room
for t he ater to come out, results in low pressure. On high, all the water
comes out the tiny opening in the end at the pencil spray setting. That
will be high pressure.
If you're not getting the rated input flow needed, you'll never get the
output pressure at full high. The most water moves in low. Less water
moves in high. And it'll burn out the pump.

Pressing the trigger makes the jet come out of the thin nozzle, just
like it should do at high pressure, except it is not at high pressure.
The jet is maybe 2-3mm thick. On low-pressure mode, the jet is more of
a thicker, hose-pipe stream. From this point, it looks like the
trigger is working ok.
With the engine running or off, there's no difference in the flow
rate. Seems like the pump just ain't running.

sounds like an inadequate water supply. Make sure no hose T's are in
use, they are too restrictive.

I experienced this with my PW, I changed out the tip of the wand and
it worked fine.
We have really hard water, so my guess was calcium deposits in the
tip.
