Oil pressure switch.... **FIXED**

[patientboy99]

I'm feeling pretty stupid. My pressure gauge goes nuts when the ac is on and I hit the brake in my 2002 3.0L Ford Ranger XLT. I was told by a mechanic to change the oil pressure switch. I bought one but now I can't find the d**n thing. Help??

On your 3.0L, it is in the block behind the PS cylinder head - hard to see from above. Go in through the wheel well and push the splash shield out of the way for a better view. The wire to it is dark green/white.
