Mechanical oil pressure gauge sender location

Posted

So, I had no oil pressure, had good oil level, truck ran fine, 2001 24 V.  I replaced the oil pressure sender under the wiring harness.  I still have no oil pressure showing on the dash cluster.   Could it be a bad sender, or a bad gauge on the dash?   I'm throwing no DTC or error codes on an INOVA code reader.  I bought a mechanical, Autometer oil pressure gauge.  Can I locate the sending unit on the oil filter housing, or is there a better place?  I searched all of the other  posts on the forum, and no one has had the problem of replacing the sender and still having no oil pressure.

Thanks!

Second there is a plug on top of the oil filter mount. You can add a oil pressure gauge there for testing or permanent. The actually oil pressure sender is typically right near the ECM on the driver side of the block. 3 pin plug.

    So, I did the gauge cluster test, and the oil pressure gauge responded in the actuator test.  Does this mean the oil pressure sender I bought is faulty, replaced about 2 years ago from Geno's Garage ?   Could it be a bad wiring harness?   The 3 pin plug on the sensor below the ECM is snugged in there pretty well.

    Thanks!
