Install - Oil Pressure Sensor

[geronimo]

Has anyone put one of these in their cruiser? Where is it? Can I do it myself?

The Chilton's manual doesn't show anything relating to this sensor. Dealer wants 30 bucks to put it in so I assume it's not that hard to find and install.

Crewin's diagram pretty much sums it up. I saw that in my service manual today. 3 steps for replacement: place drain pain under sensor, remove sensor, replace sensor. Pretty straight forward now that you know where it is.

Quick question. What is the secret to getting the electrical connector off the sensor. Spent 45 min. on my back & still couldn't get it off. But then im old.

I can't see mine from the top but I'm assuming it has a little red safety "lock" that you'll need to slide open before you can press the tab to remove the connector.

It's not like the others that are on top of the engine.

I haven't seen it either, but for some sensors, there's a red tab to push and then a clip that you have to press down in order to get it out. Can't think of the sensor I'm thinking of off the top of my head, but this one might be the same.

Also... thank you Crewzin for your pictures, that helps a lot. Any idea where I could buy a fancy book with pics like that? I've got the Chilton's manual, but some of the repairs lack them pertty pictures.
