Enough with the Beeping already!!! July 12, 2006, 08:28:33 PM 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. Quote Selected

Enough with the Beeping already!!! Reply #5 – July 16, 2006, 11:00:56 PM 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? Quote Selected
