Ford Ranger Oil Pressure Sensor Location

My oil pressure had been fluctuating for a few weeks, and an oil pump is way too expensive so I tried this first. Thought it would be easy, but the part didn't exist in my engine bay apparently.

Thanks, Taylor! Merry Christmas!

[@curtissmith221]

Thanks so much!!!! My uncle understood your photos and when I crawled under, I spotted it right away. That was a bitch to try and spot from above, and the internet had terrible descriptions of where it was. A good way of telling people where it is might be saying that it is basically inline with the oil filter.

Hello love your videos, do you by chance have any photos or video that details the the hoses that connect to the intake manifold? I'm having a lot of trouble and was able to find one location from this video, but need one more.

[@sli9770]

Good video,

[@ryanromeoramos]

After you fixed the oil pressure sensor did the temp gauge fix?

[@wesharris2559]

very good!

[@2232smiles]

is it the same spot for a ford ranger xlt 1991?

[@knote4958]

Even with a manual for mine, it still doesn't tell me where the oil pressure sensor is. That's why I'm here now. I like mine, it's reliable, but damn is it a pain to work on. Gotta take half of it apart just to get to something else.

[@jrcapelette]

hello , I'm from Brazil , do not know anything about mechanics, however have a ranger 2.5 4c , in the intake manifold are two hoses one red and one yellow , in my this missing yellow . what it does, you have trouble plugging this entry ??

[@StrangeGarage]

You don't have the yellow? That would mean your vacuum system has a leak. I can't look at the truck at this point, but a vacuum diagram would help you locate the starting location of this hose, at which point you can simply get a new hose and put it where it goes, fixing this portion of the leak. I hope this helps.

Where are you at exactly in the pic?

[@pctuterman1]

He knows where he's at, would have been nice for him to tell us too.

[@elemonator8319]

is it the same for a 2002 xlt 3.0 Ford ranger . The oil gauge was replaced four months ago and now it's flickering when I make a stop.?

[@LosAngeles822]

Hey did u ever fix rhat problen

[@ryanromeoramos]

@@LosAngeles822 did you fix your problem?

[@LosAngeles822]

@@ryanromeoramos no the problem is it only happens after a 40 min+ drive.

[@ryanromeoramos]

@@LosAngeles822 I'm going to fix mine tomorrow I'll keep you updated

[@opine1161]

wish you had better photos. I cant tell if you're on the driver or passenger side of the truck.

[@JohnSmith-mg5ve]

driver side same side as intake manifold

[@jondo1830]

Is it only accessible from underneath the vehicle?

[@StrangeGarage]

Jon Do Underneath is by FAR the easier way. In theory you can do it from above, but I wouldn't try.

[@presidential2093]

I wonder if they have another plug you can. Add a extra oil gauge so the oil pressure switch is still connected

[@StrangeGarage]

Pretty sure there is one actually. I should know, but I never paid attention.

[@toniarnold2748]

I have a 2001 Ford Ranger v6 change the oil and the oil pressure sensor and the gage still goes crazy ???? Anybody ?

[@5Speed83]

may need a new oil pump

[@jaysonsourwein4835]

I found easier way take tire off go threw driver side fender it easy no problem you will see how easy it it I did it on my 2.5 engine 2001 ford ranger XLT

[@jimearnest4342]

I like how you put this video out,but you don't answer pertinent questions.

[@bytheseaaspirinshop801]

The manual useless for this.

[@jaysonsourwein4835]

i learn a easy way to do it very very easy as pie

[@CrazyLibs]

And how is that? Lol It would help alot to explain how please..

[@replicant_7774]

Still not a very good description of location.
