I have an 01 F150 w/ a 4.6 V8 and when I start it up in the morning before work, or when I get back from school (never after being run during the day) the Oil Pressure light goes on, and the dial is at the base line not even on Low. I really don't feel like getting ripped $75 for the dealer to just reset the thing if the sensor is faulty instead of having them just replace it. Has anyone else had the same problem?

 

Sounds like your oil pressure sending unit is bad. Try replacing it.

 

Where can I find one? and how much could it be? Also how hard would this be? (sorry for all the quesitons I am pretty new to the whole auto-scene and all I really know compared to y'all is nothing lol)

 

The oil pressure unit should only be $10-$20. I am not sure exactly where its located

 

Ok, that seems reasonable lol now where could I find one?

 

www.rockauto.com. sorry i cant give credit to who showed it to me but they seem to have the best prices and multiple selections on their website. only people that had the part i was looking for at the time and they got it to me within 3 days with standard shipping.

 

Every Ford dealer in the country can get it for you. Most will have it in stock since it's a commonly used item.
