Should be located close to the oil filter. It will screw in like a spark plug. It has a harness plug. Easy to change, save yourself $70 in labor. You will need a fairly large wrench to remove

Looks to be located just below the heat shield for the exhaust header on the right side. Here is images with locations: http://www.autozone.com/repairguides/Chrysler-Cirrus-Stratus-Sebring-Avenger-Breeze-1995-1998/SENDING-UNITS/Oil-Pressure-Sender/_/P-0900c1528008965d
Is your oil sending unit bad??? U can reset everything by unhooking the negative battery cable for a few minutes but i dont know if it will help your oil light..Check your connection at the oil sending unit and insure its got a good connection and check for shorts...
The oil pressure sensor is located on the back of the engine, behind a heat shield. you will need to be able to work from under the vehicle to access it.
Here is how I fixed the low oil pressure light problem without using any parts, only the labor to remove the oil pressure sensor is needed. I have an 02 seabring convertible 2.7L engine and I was having the same problem with my oil light coming on at an idle. I bought a new sensor replaced the old one and had the same problem. I than got a test kit and tested my oil pressure. It was very good, never lower than 11 PSI hot at an idle. I was reading about the wire connector modification, but I had an 02 and this mod came out in 98, surely Chrysler incorporated this mod on its newer vehicles. Well after checking more they did not and this is what turned me off on Chrysler products forever. For a manufacturer to produce a vehicle with a known defect and a modification fix and not incorporated this modification on its newer vehicles is inexcusable.
After reading that the modification was to stop pressure build up in the sensor housing I decided to make a pressure release hole in the sensor housing. I took my old oil pressure sensor and using a 1/8 inch bit I drilled a small hole at the base of the plastic sensor tower. I put the old sensor in and drove for a week, no problem with my light coming on. To test further I took the new oil pressure sensor I bought and drilled a hole in it. Put it in and I've been driving for months and no problem with my oil pressure light coming on now.
I was lucky on mine. It was just a bad oil sender switch that needed to replaced, plus the cable connector up-grade. Oil was leaking past the switch. Oil pressure was measured at full spec, both at idel and running.
It's a V4 2.0 motor not a V6 motor
