Oil Presure Sender - conversion to linear from switch

Mar 22, 2005 1 Replies

I'm having problems with an intermittent oil pressure indication on a 99 Explorer Sport with a 4.0L SOHC, at cold start up.



Rather than just replace the pressure switch sensor it seems attractive to make the gauge in the dash a real linear indicator as suggested in theses earlier posts;

I'm trying to find a part number for a linear sender with the same connector as the stock switch. My local dealer has the referenced linear sender which has a screw terminal, and the stock switch but was unwilling to look for the linear sender with the correct connector.



Anybody know the Ford or MotorCraft P/N?

Let me guess. You get 0 pressure, then after a few seconds, it comes up to normal? There's a TSB on that one. It's the sender.
