Hello,

Here is the location of the oil pressure sensor/sender you may need to jack the car up first to access the unit. Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Down by the oil filter. Get the new one to match up and get the correct socket for replacement

Oil pressure switch light and chime keeps coming on despite replacing switch several times. Oil and pressure are fine. How can I disconnect the chime?

It can't be disconnected. Have you checked wiring to the sensor?

Was told the oil pressure switch needed replaced, because it was causing a leak. I bought the part, but can't get to the switch.

Not all parts are easy to access. You have to improvise.

How do I improvise? We had the air filter and several other parts out of the engine and still couldn't get to it. We tried going from underneath and couldn't get through the small space. Any suggestions?

Sometimes you have to do things by feel. If you can fit your hand thru opening and reach sender you can remove it blind as they say? Good mechanics have learned to SEE with there hands! A helper is handy in those situations too.

Here's what 1 person had comments about the change. Reach wayyyyyy down on passenger side and remove. This was on a base PT. Others have said take out battery, air box, moved fuse box aside, then easy reach.
