hope that helps.

Most likely the oil pump light will come on if the oil pressure is low. This light is based on a pressure sensor. Your oil pump is likely not operating to deliver the required pressure. Check that your pump is installed properly.

Put a gage in the sending unit hole and see if the oil pump is weak, that is the best way to tell if the engine pump is ok.

oil may be full but you may have a problem --when last oil change oil may be used up and needs changing filter may be clogging--- oil pressure problems--sludge --oil pump --if oil hasnt been changed in awhile have it changed and system flushed before resetting light

Oil pumps can cost from $80 to $200. It all depends on which vehicle you have.

HOW TO CHANGE
You have to pull the oil pan. To do that you often have to lift the engine. Unfortunately, oil pumps are about the least often part of an engine to go bad. If you have low oil pressure it's probably...

check oil sending unit first. could be that it has failed and is sending a bad signal to the instruments. if it is the pump the engine has to be removed to change the pump.

hello, on this vehicle the oil pump is mounted behind the front timing cover. you will have to remove the front diff, the oil pan, then the water pump and lastly the front engine timing cover. takes about 12 to 12 hours to replace

Not positive 05 is the same but on my 02 you turn the key to the on position and pump the gas pedal 4 times.

You are probably looking at around at least 1500 if not more
