Hey does anybody know where the oil pressure switch/sender is located in an 87 cougar? The dang thing keeps going off but of couse the oil is alright and runs perfectly so I thought I would change it and see if that fixes it.
It is on the front of the block... driverside.... under a/c compressor beside timing cover.
On the 5.0 isn't it above the oil filter by where the negative battery cable connects to the block?
I'm on my third one. I think they are about as realiable as what is in the toilet...
wow I thought mine reading low most of the time sucked
is there a better way to do it? or do you guys have to clean out that pipe thing that it hooks up to? mine reads low but its fine but ever now and then it reads good...
and its right behind the power steering pump by the negative cable on the 5.0
So I changed the oil pressure switch and yeah it still beeps like crazy. I even tried two to make sure it wasn't a bad switch. Any ideas on what else it might be?

go for a guage, ditch the sender and plumb in a OP gauge
Any suggestions on an oil pressure guage, brand or anything? Anything easy to set up?

This is where i mounted mine...
