Could. failing oil pump, plugged oil pump pickup screen, worn bearings, etc... basically anything that would cause the oil pressure to not be as high as it should be. The sensor could be bad, but if it were my car, i would hook it up to a oil pressure gauge that gave the exact reading for the pressure, and go from there. last I knew the light came on when the oil pressure was at or below 8 PSI.

You may have to work at it when it is a bit warm to break it loose. Unfortunately a sending unit may not be the fix though. That is the easiest to change out though. Beyond that there are a few items that cost a little bit to replace if the engine hasn't warn out as a result. Keep working at the sending unit for a little while but listen for any new noises in the engine. ----- Original Message ----- From: NLG To: blindhandyman@ <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> yahoogroups.com <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> Sent: Monday, January 07, 2008 3:25 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Dodge Intrepid I will have to keep trying. I tried pulling it off but it won't release. I tried feeling to see if there was a place to push on to get it to release but like I said, it is in very tight quarters. There isn't any oil leaking from the sending unit so it is clean. I am replacing it because the oil light is illuminated and won't go out. The engine oil level inddicates full on the dip stick.

If it has been leaking for a while the wire and/or the connector will probably break off in your hand, but that is an easy fix. -----Original Message----- From: blindhandyman@ <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> yahoogroups.com <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> [mailto: blindhandyman@ <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> yahoogroups.com <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> ] On Behalf Of NLG Sent: Monday, January 07, 2008 12:34 PM To: blindhandyman@ <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> yahoogroups.com <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Dodge Intrepid Any Dodge boys here? What kind of release is on the wire that attaches to an oil sending unit on a 2000 Dodge Intrepid? with the 2.2 engine? It is Hard to get at and when I finally get my fingers on it, I have very little room to maneuver. Thanks.
