Subject: Where is oil pressure switch on 2002 4.7
IP: Logged

Message:
I think that I need to change the oil pressure switch on my 02 4.7 dakota. The truck used to be like clockwork - pressure was at the lower tick at stoplights and almost at the higher tick when moving...rarely in between. The past two weeks I noticed that it will slowly go back and forth between the two hash marks on the guage for no reason when driving.

So, I am going to replace the oil pressure switch to see if that is the problem. Thus, I have 2 questions:

1) Where is the oil pressure switch (sending unit) on my 2002 4.7L engine?

2) Is there somewhere better/cheaper to buy a new one than at the dealership? If so, where? (a part number would be great).

Thanks for the help.

It is directly above the oil filter. Remove the splash shield to gain access to the filter area and look above the filter. A flashlight will help.
