Oil Pressure Sensor Replacement $104.83 - $442.63 Get a Quote

Hi - the oil pressure switch/sensor is located next to the oil filter on all Dodge engines of this vintage (3.0, 2.5, 1.8l, etc.), and screws into either the engine block, or the oil filter housing, depending on engine model. For assistance with replacement, I recommend an oil pressure switch replacement performed by a mobile, professional mechanic, such as one from YourMechanic, who will come to your location, diagnose this problem, and give you an accurate assessment of damage and cost estimate for repairs.
