Oil pressure switch on a 1995 Dodge Ram 1500 WITH A 318?

The oil pressure switch location on a 1995 Dodge Ram 1500 with a 318 engine varies slightly depending on the exact engine configuration and whether it's a 2WD or 4WD. However, it's generally located on the driver's side of the engine block, near the oil filter.

To be certain:

* Consult a repair manual: A Haynes or Chilton manual specific to your year, make, model, and engine will show you a diagram with the exact location. This is the most reliable method.

* Look near the oil filter: The switch is usually a small, cylindrical component with one or two wires attached. It's often close to, or even slightly behind, the oil filter.

* Use a flashlight and mirror: The area can be cramped, so a flashlight and a mirror might be necessary to get a good view.

Caution: Be careful when working around hot engine components. Let the engine cool completely before attempting any inspection or replacement.
