Is it towards the front of the car or the rear of the engine?

I am getting an itermittent oil pressure light on the dash and no codes. The oil level is correct and just had an oil change a few weeks ago.

I have a new oil pressure sensor to put in and see if that fixes it but I can't find where the old one is on the engine.

If possible, please post a picture of a diagram from the manual that shows where it is

I've looked all around the oil filter and can't find any wires leading to a sensor

before you replace the switch put a manual gauge on the engine and see what your pressure actually is if it is still low try replacing oil filter as they cause that sometimes one like Purolator,napa, wix or ac. a lot of these filters on the market today are for crap.

Thanks very much for your help!

I am having trouble matching that diagram with my engine. Can you double check that it's for a 2004 dodge caravan 4 cyl engine?
