i need to know where the oli sending unit is and - zjlimited_305.jpg

Fig. 1: Location of the oil pressure switch-3.3L and 3.8L engines




Fig. 2: Location of ti need to know where the oli sending unit is and - zjlimited_307.jpgwitch-3.0L engine

Fig.: Oil pressure switch (sending unit) schematic


The low oil pressure warning lamp will illuminate when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position without the engine running. The lamp also illuminates if the engine oil pressure drops below a safe oil pressure level. To test the system, perform the following:

  1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
  2. If the lamp does not light, check for a broken or disconnected wire around the engine and oil pressure sending unit switch.
  3. If the wire at the connector checks out OK, pull the connector loose from the switch and, with a jumper wire, ground the connector to the engine.
  4. With the ignition switch turned to the ON position, check the warning lamp. If the lamp still fails to light, check for a burned out lamp or disconnected socket in the instrument cluster.

REMOVAL & INSTALLATION
On the 2.4L engine, the oil pressure switch is located on the side of the engine block facing the firewall. On the 3.0L engine, the oil pressure switch is located on the oil filter adapter housing, next to the starter motor. On the 3.3L and 3.8L engines, the oil pressure switch is located next to the oil filter.
  1. Locate the oil pressure sending unit on the engine.
  2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
  3. Disconnect the pressure switch electrical harness.
  4. Using a pressure switch socket, deep-well socket or wrench, loosen and remove the pressure switch from the engine.
To install:
  1. Install the pressure switch into the engine and tighten securely.
  2. Attach the electrical connector to the switch.
  3. Connect the negative battery cable.
  4. Start the engine, allow it to reach operating temperature and check for leaks.
  5. Check for proper oil pressure switch operation.

Hope this helps (remember to rate this answerr).

Is there a fuel relay that could be going bad

The problem is caused by a defective fuel level sending unit inside the gas tank, it is very common and caused by the chemicals in the new cleaner burning motor vehicle fuels eating up the insulator on the sending unit. To replace the sending unit requires the fuel tank be removed, the sending unit is part of the fuel pump module and all are replaced as one unit.

Fuel gage not working. Only a smsll light seen. Does the fuel pump need changing?

As long as the car is running fine it's safe to say the fuel pump does not need to be replaced. However the fuel tank sending unit may need to be replaced assuming the fuel gauge itself isn't at fault. First check your owners manual if available for your fuse block info and check fuses then I'd look into the sending unit. Let me know if you need help with that

There is an Oil pressure sending unit on the left front side of the engine. This is connected to a special fitting that has the tubing that goes to the oil cooler. This is leaking. Where can I get one of...

I usually go to the airport where there is always a company that makes hydraulic lines cheaply. Cost less than trying to order the new part, because they reuse the old end fitting. They just replace the rubber part and the crimped parts.
