Oil Pressure Connector Repair and Oil Pressure Switch replacement on 2009 R56 Mini Cooper

Oil pressure light warning light. Brittle and broken connector for the oil pressure switch. Repaired the connector and installed a new oil pressure switch.

Thanks for giving all of us heads up

Are you sure the pin couldn't be inserted through the holes in the door and through the green rubber seal and lock in? The new connector has square holes in the door larger than what's needed for just the wire. How did Mini do it? Appears to me that you took a big chance of breaking an expensive new connector when you removed the grey part.

Don’t remember for sure. If you can push the connectors through the door and green rubber seal and have it lock in, then I would do it that way. I think I had trouble making sure it all fit and clicked in.

Most likely Mini buys the harnesses made from someone to their specifications. So the harnesses are assembled at a factory where they have all the tools and equipment for cutting, stripping and crimping the connectors

Just what I needed. Good video!

[@alexgoh1317]

Another awesome video. May I know where you bought the oil pressure switch and the seal from?

[@mcmcminicooper]

You can get the parts on PelicanParts.com. MINI Oil Pressure Switch Part#: 12-52-7-542-850-BOE ($9.00) and MINI Seal Ring for Oil Pressure Switch in Cylinder Head Genuine MINI
Part#: 12-61-7-546-239-BOE ($4.25). I am not sure if I got them here so you may want to search around for a better price. You can get a knockoff seal on Pelican that cost only $1.25. Good luck!

Can I get The information on the extra oil pressure switch you’ve on your car

[@mcmcminicooper]

I did a three-part TH-cam videos on the install of the additional oil pressure and temperature gauges. th-cam.com/video/PhLw2bJ_2T4/w-d-xo.html. I bought a kit from CravenSpeed. www.cravenspeed.com Not cheap but this was my first time and wanted all the parts in a single install kit. Cheaper if you've don this before and buy parts that you need. Good Luck
