These parts tend to fail more times than not. But keeping your oil changed and synthetic helps. I have over 300k on mine and this part has failed 2xs. So change the oil, make sure they're snug, but not over tightened.
Sir is the gauge supposed to stay in the middle? I got a P1524 and a P0521. I changed the oil pressure switch. The gauge stays in the middle, but in my vehicle info center, on start up, im at 33psi , but will go as low as 18psi. My mechanic says it should be 25-65 psi.
Terry I have not got any new info. I was going to see if the oil filter is tight enough, tighten the oil sensor, I didn't tighten to torque specs I thought I was going to far. I'm going to change the oil sense the oil chang die light came on Sunday, I dont know why. I changed it 4 months ago, and mine says to change every 8 months. I can keep you posted.
2001 Durango 4.7. mine is dropping pressure once it's warmed up 🤔 Mechanical gauge shows about 80psi idling. I'm thinking the cluster gauge has gone out on mine (20+ yrs old) I've replaced 3 this year 2022.
I'm going thru this same thing on my 05 Ram but my oil gauge drops while I'm driving then after I give it gas it goes back up to normal pressure.. Would this fix it?
A LITTLE LATE BUT MY 2002 RAM 1500 SAYS "CHECK GAGES" USUALLY WHEN I BRAKE TOO HARD. THE OIL GUAGE THEN GOES LOW LEFT THEN GOES BACK TO MIDDLE. WILL THIS FIX MY ISSUE?
Mine does the same thing. You are burning too much oil. I have to add oil to my 03 ram every two weeks. Our trucks are on their last leg now unfortunately.
I just replaced mines yesterday and light still comes on after I break but then light turns off again does this mean I have low oil that it’s just moving around to set it off
You probably need to change the pigtail plug going into the new sensor. The wires and plug are contaminated by oil which gets forced out from old bad sensor
When my switch failed. The light would go on and off. Its probably just starting to fail. I would recommend replacing its easy to change and the part is cheap. I got the part from Oreilys Auto Parts. Hope this helps.
Please help iam girls I owe an 1998 Dodge ram this only transportation my gauges light constantly comes on, I got standard oil change at Wal Mart buying oil constantly I got drive to work its too hot 🔥 Walk please any advice thanks
@@scouts_garage I fixed it gauge still down, light check gauges stayed on these time doest no blink and gauge does not not go up and down like it use to it just completely stayed down these time light stayed on won't come off
@@dhernandez6078 Make sure you have the correct sensor. If the new sensor is not working this might not be your problem. The check gauges is a general message saying that you should check all gauges so it might not be the oil pressure and oil pressure sensor.
Not sure but if its the same body/build as the 2005 model I don't see why not. This fix was done on my 2005 and worked perfectly. Still working as of today.
@@alg5169 that I'm not sure of, I didn't have any issue with it starting. Mine started coming on when I would brake for a red light. Upon looking into it and then checking my oil, my oil was so low that stopping would move enough around to drop the oil pressure to almost zero. Put a decent amount of oil in it and no more issue.
Dude thank you that's what was wrong with my Dodge your the man for doing a video
Thank you for the advice for this problem
Thats what i call a good video
Thank you I had a oil gauge not want to work when starting gauge light come on

Thanks for the instructions. Please add part numbers to the description. And then I'll have to catch a freeze frame)))))
Part number in description
It’s worked brother! Thank you very much !
Thanks for the advice buddy
Did your truck temp go up at all? My oil pressure drops and temp goes up a tiny bit. Is it because no oil is reaching the top valves?
thanks.. fixing mine.. that dam light and sound its anoyying on every stop like clock work... lol thanks for detail video..
Fixed mine last weekend for under $20
Wow good job amigo 👏 👍

Have you find any assistance? I have 1998 dodge ram gauge light comes on mechanical told purchase gauge piece at Napa where I live to get it repair..

The check gauges light comes on randomly while driving and the oil meter goes down but will immediately go back to normal when I accelerate
that’s what happened to me then my motor blew
Did you figure it out?
What of the oil pressure is where it is supposed to be? My truck turns off when I come to a stop and the "check gauges" light comes up
For a second I thought you were going to get a piece of tape and cover up the light lol
Thanks so much! I’m appreciated!

My check guages light is on but all my guages work fine. Any ideas?
I have changed that and mine is still coming on do you have any idea why or is it something else
Thanks a lot Perfect videos
I'm going thru this same thing on my 05 Ram but my oil gauge drops while I'm driving then after I give it gas it goes back up to normal pressure.. Would this fix it?
I can say 100% but mine was doing the same thing. Its worth a shot for a 30 dollar part. Good luck!
@@scouts_garage I appreciate it ill give it a shot
Hello! Does anyone knows if this "Check Gauges" light also cause the car to shut off.
Have you found the answer yet? I also need to know😭
It does
It has for me a couple of times.
Thank you so much
My truck has started showing check gages but my oil pressure is fine. Do I need to replace this part anyway to see if it fixes the issue??
Probably not. It might be another sensor causing the issue
what if the battery level goes down and it says “check gages”? even after i changed the battery
This is for the oil gauge only. I am not sure about the battery.
That’s your alternator causing that happened to me went right up when I changed the alternator

You probably need to change the pigtail plug going into the new sensor. The wires and plug are contaminated by oil which gets forced out from old bad sensor
I know I'm a year late, but did you change/clean the battery terminals?
Nope did not do this. Just swapped the sensor and it worked. Hope this helps.
@@scouts_garage Awesome! Glad it got solved. 👍 My problem was just the terminals. Thought it could've been a spark plug issues at first.
I just cleaned mine off then it started doing this 24hrs later warmed up drove around now the oil pressure dropping mid drive saying check gauges
Nombre del sensor acaba de pasarle ala mía
Thank you
What if the oil pressure is leveled?
If the oil pressure is showing normal on your dash, it's probably not the oil pressure sensor. It's probably another issue.
What does it mean if my check gauge light went on yesterday but is no longer on today?
When my switch failed. The light would go on and off. Its probably just starting to fail. I would recommend replacing its easy to change and the part is cheap. I got the part from Oreilys Auto Parts. Hope this helps.
@@scouts_garage thank you brother really appreciate the help🤝

I know I’m a year late on the comment, but never drive a truck if it’s hot you’ll blow an engine
Is it safe to drive with the oil pressure sensor being bad for a few days? I'm having these problem on my 07 Dodge ram 4.7 ass well
Yes. I drove it for months like this. However you should really fix it because its fast and cheap. Would not recommend leaving it to long.

@@dhernandez6078 You are probably burning too much oil. You need to check it and add oil frequently if so. Low oil will set it off.
I have a check gauge light but it won't start
Gracias broder in 100
Thanks amigo
Genial👍
I just did it , let’s see how it’s doing
Or check compression
Thank you may God bless you with more pussy
This helped me so much on my 04 Ram
Any body got a autozone part number just want to make sure I get the right part
Autozone : Duralast Oil Pressure Switch PS279
Part # PS279
Yeah I was gonna say that is not the right sensor. This didn’t fix my problem unfortunately
there’s many reasons for check gages light to come on. fortunately for this guy his fix was easy
Mine has 2 prongs.
Does this work for a 2007 dodge ram 1500 4.7???
Not sure but if its the same body/build as the 2005 model I don't see why not. This fix was done on my 2005 and worked perfectly. Still working as of today.
Yea it will work it’s the same oil sensor
Low oil Will throw that light on as well
Will it cause the truck to not start. My truck say check gauge and it won't start. It literally happened after I got gas

@@joeybydin439 oh ok. I understand. I just found out earlier today that it's my gas filter going bad
@@alg5169 at least you figured it out 👍
@@joeybydin439mine does the same thing and happens when I brake hard then goes back up
ثانكيووووو
Pfice
That doesn't work at all
I changed mine and the same thing happens and it leaks oil so can you tell me some of the other things it could be?
