2001 2.5 V6 Oil Pressure Switch
Hi All,
I wonder if you can kindly help. A few years ago when T-4 Phil was working on my car, he noticed that the oil pressure light didn't come on with two clicks of the ignition. He didn't have an oil pressure switch so I bought from eurocarparts and fitted. All was well for the handful of times I checked it. I now notice the light is out again so assume it's failed again. Can anyone please advise of the proper oil pressure switch part number so I can locate and buy? Also, I've forgotten if on the divers or passengers side if some can kindly remind me. Regards, Terry. |

Oil pressure sensor is on drivers side, above oil pump. Available from Rimmers here: https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-NUC100280

Are you changing your oil nice and regularly? I have known an oil pressure switch (not on a 75/ZT) fail due to oil contamination. If you'd like to verify your assumption before shelling out for another new switch, remove the electrical connector and earth it. Now turn on the ignition and the low oil pressure lamp should be illuminated. Simon

Were either of the two posts above helpful at all?

2001 2.5 V6 Oil Pressure Switch
Hi All,
Yes, thanks for your replies. I have bought a new sensor now and will change once the weather cools off. I presume I can change without jacking up? I'm hoping to just cut the wheels and be able to do from under the wheel arch. Is the sensor nearer the front or rear of the car when looking at the wheel so I know which way too cut the wheels? Thanks again, Terry. |
