Where is the Oil pressure switch Ford F350 5.8L Engine?

The oil pressure switch on a Ford F350 with a 5.8L engine (typically a V8) is usually located on the driver's side of the engine block, near the oil filter. However, the exact location can vary slightly depending on the year of your truck.

To find it definitively, you should:

1. Consult your vehicle's repair manual: This is the most accurate way to locate the switch. The manual will have diagrams and specific instructions.

2. Use an online parts diagram: Websites like AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, or Napa Auto Parts often have online diagrams you can search using your vehicle's year, make, and model. Look for a diagram of the engine.

3. Visually inspect the engine: Once you've got a general idea of its location from a diagram, look for a small switch, usually with one or two wires connected, near the oil filter and on the driver's side of the engine block. It might have a wire going to the oil pressure gauge or the warning light.

Remember to disconnect the negative battery terminal before working on any electrical components.
