Same year but no codes, oil pressure at zero when off and always at 100psi when ignition on ON or engine running, you ever come across this? Great vid!

I have the same model/year Cadillac. Bought a GM oil pressure switch online that said it would fit my car but it’s completely different lol. Any chance you have the part # for what you put in?

Definitely what it seemed like, it sucks that sensor is in a really tight spot.

What were your symptoms that required you change this? Was the gauge on the dash pegging to 100?
@drewsshoplife2 жыл бұрын
The sensor was reading erratically, it very could be the sensor. Need to verify 5 volt reference, ground and signal return wire also need to verify the gauge is working correctly as well.

@@drewsshoplife No never hit a 100 just stopped working , one thing I didn’t mention that the car would overheat due to the electric fan not working I recently bought a new one yet to install it only had the car back now for four days but when it overheated temp went fast to 100 then auto shuts everything off

Do you have to worry about spilling oil when you pull the sensor?
@drewsshoplife Жыл бұрын
Sometimes, some oil will come out, I usually try to remove and install the sensor quickly to prevent a mess.

This will be the second time my sensor has failed in under 10k miles. I wonder if the sensor is repairable; maybe it just needs to be cleaned?

@@drewsshoplife I had it to a Chevy dealer to repair at 74k miles. They replaced it and the car now has 79k and 2 years later it failed again. It looks like there is a little residue on the part this time but not like the first time; it was saturated the first time. I plan to replace it myself this time with OEM. It failed in a similar manner this time; pegged 100 psi, then sat at 0 psi, pegged 100psi again and now it just sits at 0psi.

I got this repaired today; Oreillys has a super short socket that works well for getting in this tight place. 3/8” drive - no need to remove the airbox. I really think the harness is the culprit but this time around I did the sensor again anyway. 50 psi at idle again… 👍
