| Both of mine are going bad - Autozone wants $40 each - I am sure there have to be better/cheaper options out there. Does anyone know what interchanges?
Also, what other sensors should I look at while I am doing this? | |

Also, what other sensors should I look at while I am doing this? Thats cheap,when I bought my oil pressure sender from rock auto 3 years ago it was 55 bucks.Is your OP gauge needle pegging to the far side of the gauge and staying there except when stopped in drive? |

| it is all over the place. When stopped in drive it drops to the left and the low oil light comes on. While driving it jumps all over the place - i did unplug it and clean it the other day (full of oil). It worked for a couple of days, then went crazy again - makes me think it is leaking inside the sensor and shorting out the contacts.
The low oil light in the ac control has been on forever - it turns off on occasion.
I have enough oil in the engine - have been checking on a regular basis.
I have not checked rock auto yet. Ordered the wrong sensor the last time =( | |

| Pick and pull yards are cheap, and most guarantee the part for 30 days. There is a gasket on the level sender that is not available separately. You have to make your own with silicone sealer.
The oil level sender may have a loose/broken wire in the connector. Mine usually works for a couple of days after an oil change, then the light stays on. I have swapped the sender (and in the 91 and 92, the module). The only thing left in my car that could cause the light to be on is a broken wire. | |

| Thank you guys. Will take a crack at Rock auto. Yarding is not feasible right now due to work schedule and such. | |
