Down low near the oil filter, front of engine. If there is an air-dam under front of vehicle, that switch may be awkward to get at. Look down from the top, if you can't see anything, use a mirror.

Do you have a basic set of tools? Are you handy under the hood? If the answer is no, this may not be the job for you? The autostore sells a socket for the oil pressure switch. I got one rolling around in my tool-box somewhere, If I ever find it again, I probably won't remember what it's for?

You can use an analog gage in place of the sending unit, to double-check oil pressure.
