oil pressure switch

[HiImBrian]

No wonder my oil pressure gauge stoped working. could you give me a hint as to where that is?

[EclipseGST]

Its a "round" metal sensor located on the oil filter housing. Towards the oil pan. There is a little nub that sticks out of the bottom that it slides over.

Thanks jake, should there be something plugged into the other side???

Yes there should, and it should go to the oil pressure sensor pictured on the left. (Round)

The other one should just be for the idiot light though. Not as crucial.

The large sender under the crank pulley is for the gauge. The small one under the alt. is for the oil pressure light.

Well the idiot light isn't even on. The gauge just doesn't work. I'll just wait for somebody to part their car out and steel the wire from them.

Just make it, short piece of wire with a female lug connector on one end to attach to the sender. The factory ones are usually chewed up and oily anyways.
