Chardagha Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Hello group, lately the oil pressure/level sensor has been tripping repeatedly. I have checked the oil level and I have driven the car about 10000 miles in this condition. I can reset the alarm from the steering wheel control, but the alarm will recur. Is this a known problem? If I want to replace the sensor myself, where is it located? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 How do you know for sure the oil pressure isn’t low? You should get it checked before you replace the sensor and before you drive it much further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murphy62 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I was thinking the same thing. A proper oil level says nothing about whether the pressure is correct and stable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chardagha Posted October 28, 2017 Author Share Posted October 28, 2017 Does anyone know where the sensor is located? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordtech1 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 It's in the side of the block behind the alternator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chardagha Posted October 28, 2017 Author Share Posted October 28, 2017 Thank you, Can I access it reasonably easy to do the replacement myself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordtech1 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 I'm not sure you will be able to get it without being on a lift. I haven't changed one that I can remember. It's possible it's a wiring issue. Check the connector and harness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
