What sensor is this?

Post by Mariob316 »

Today while doing spring cleaning car edition I found this unplugged with the connector broken D: Should this be of big concern? If you can't tell it's right beside the alternator
in front of the left rad fan

EDIT: Ok just looked at the workshop manual and it seems to be the oil pressure switch?? Should it be fixed asap?

Would it result in a horrific explosion....no, but should it be fixed???? Yes...your car wont blow up suddenly without it, but I'd still get it fixed...

this sensor would light up your "oil" light on your dash when oil pressure is low, at least when it's in working condition.

Or you could swap it out for a proper oil pressure gauge with numbers instead of the stupid light. Just an idea of course.
