Enough with the Beeping already!!!

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.

On the 5.0 isn't it above the oil filter by where the negative battery cable connects to the block?

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?
