Instructions:
Step 1: Park your car on a level surface and turn off the engine.
Wait until the engine has cooled down to room temperature to prevent burns.
Step 2: Locate the oil sender switch.
The oil sender switch is usually located on the oil pan or near the oil filter. It is a small cylindrical device with a wire connector attached to it.
Step 3: Disconnect the wire connector from the oil sender switch.
Use your pliers to gently pry the connector off the switch.
Step 4: Use an adjustable wrench to loosen the oil sender switch.
Turn the switch counterclockwise until it is loose.
Step 5: Remove the oil sender switch from the oil pan.
Be careful not to spill any oil.
Step 6: Install the new oil sender switch.
Screw the new switch into the oil pan by hand until it is snug. Then, use your adjustable wrench to tighten the switch until it is secure.
Step 7: Reconnect the wire connector to the oil sender switch.
Snap the connector back into place.
Step 8: Check for leaks.
Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes. Check under the car for any oil leaks. If you see any leaks, tighten the oil sender switch until the leak stops.
Step 9: Add oil if necessary.
Check the oil level in your engine and add oil if it is low.
Step 10: Test the oil sender switch.
Drive your car for a few minutes and then turn it off. Check the oil pressure gauge to make sure that it is reading correctly. If the oil pressure gauge is not working properly, the oil sender switch may be faulty and will need to be replaced.
