oil pressure sensor

Hello,

Here is a diagrams below that shows its location near the oil filter. Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

A 3.3L and 3.8L engines its below AC compressor and 3.0 is near the starter

Six cylinder front wheel drive automatic 158,000 miles.

I am trying to locate where the oil pressure sensor is located. I have read the auto manual twice looking for it. I want to replace my current sensor to see if it fixes the periodic oil light that comes on after I have been driving it.

3.0L near the starter.

3.3L/3.8L below the AC compressor

The oil light blinks and a bell rings when I am idling at an intersection. It's fine on when I am moving. Mechanic I spoke with says it's likely the oil pressure sensor. Called our town auto parts, they have one in stock, and say it's not a big job to change, but you need to know where it is. We bought the van second hand, and didn't get a manual with it. Can you tell me where the oil pressure sensor would be located? It's a Sport model, and also a US model (mileage is in miles, not kilometers), don't know if that would make a difference in where the sensor would be located. Need the van on a daily basis, so a quick response would be appreciated in a huge way! Thanks!

Need to know engine size in Liters

It's a 3.3 L engine, but my daughter found the info on-line and my nephew installed it last night. Thank you though, for your prompt reply...will definitely use your site again, nice to know that help is so readily available!

where is the oil sending unit located on my dodge caravan 3.8

hi, its in the front of the engine, below the a/c compressor, ok.

USER NOTE: It's under the back edge of the intake manifold.

right next to the oil filter. you'll see a harness connected to it

where is it located?

You might check above the oil filter.

where is the oil pressure switch on a 1995 dodge caravan v6 3.0, also can I use synthic oil in a 1995 car?

Don't-Oil Pressure Sending Unit (3.0L) On left side of cylinder block, next to oil filter. On the engine block behind the alternator.

How do you replace the oil pressure sending unit on a 2000 Dodge Grand Caravan, V6 3.3L SE?

Unplug the wiring / plug
and it unscrew
screw the new one back in and plug it back

I need to replace the oil sensor but I don't know where it is at

if you are talking about the oil pressure switch see pic. there is no oil sensor

do i need to drain oil to change oil pressure switch sensor?

Negative

No, but you may want to drain and remove the oil filter. You will only lose a teeny-tiny amount of oil. The sensor is not on the pan where it would start draining (like the oil plug) Might lay a piece of cardboard under it to keep the garage floor clean from any drips

My oil pressure light comes on and the warning bells start dinging when I first turn the car on and the engine is cool. I have had the oil changed and all parts seem to be in working order with no leakage. When I reach a certain RPM, the light and bells go off, but when I come back to idle, off the go again until the engine heats up! Could this be the oil pressure switch and is this something I can change out myself?

Yes this could be the oil pressure switch infact that is the first thing I would change. You should be able to do it your self. It should be next to the oil filter. This is what it should look like for the 3.3ltr and 3.8 ltr engine.

Hope this helps you.

Thank you so much! That is very helpful...I'll give it a whirl!

Let me know how it turns out ok.

It was fairly simple to replace and I haven't had one single "ding, ding" since! Thank you again...what a great site and service.

You are welcome glad I could help and even better that it is fixed. If there anything else we can do just ask. Again thanks and have a wonderful day.

Good picture.

I would try replacing the sensor first as it may be the sensor. it is a common failure for this but it could also be low oil pressure from something in the motor.

If the issue still exists after replacing it, then take it to a shop and have them do a manual test on the pressure to be sure.

Hi,

Has this issue been resolved? Did the oil pressure switch take care of the issue?
