First, hats off to DavidJ for a fine video. Second, I would like to buy a "virtual beer" for all of those who were able to remove/replace this without removing the alternator. I removed the three alt bolts and pushed it out of the way, and was able to complete the job. Total time: 1.25 hours.
Really appreciate your step by step install video and Yes. I had to remove or at least disconnect my alternator as well. Some do some don’t. All depends on how that plug is originally oriented. Took about 4 hours with a quick run to the parts store to grab an extension for the New Sensor. Finally done. And best part. No MORE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT!!!!!
Thanks Again 🙌🏾😁🙌🏾😁🙌🏾😁
Awesome! You’re welcome, glad you found the video helpful.
Haha yeah same experience!
I was able to get the sensor pigtail disconnected without removing the alternator by carefully sliding a small screwdriver under the plastic clip, pressing up and gently pulling on the wires. Saved me hours of work removing the alternator.
discorobotz Nice!! 👍👍👍
Same thing i did
Bout to try this now!!! Been trying to take it off for 2 days now... thanks
@discorobotz did you do this from the engine bay or underneath the car like he did?
@@HonestlyGrown were you able to pull it off with that method?
I've done this twice on two cars and have found that a strategically placed screwdriver to break the electrical portion off the sensor makes removal easy. (No matter what position that red locking clip is in.) The sensor is then easy to remove and replace without having to take off the alternator. I can change the part in less than 15 Min., although I hope not to have to.
I wish we had a good video of that technique. Another thing I was concerned about was not being able to start the new sensor by hand and ending up with a cross threaded sensor and a big oil leak. I guess that’s one reason the sensor base is made of brass.
It is pipe thread so it starts relatively easy. Good Video. It is not the easiest to get to in the cars.
Thanks, man.
Helpful video. One question I did not see addressed. Since this is the oil pressure sensor, did you drain the oil before removing the sensor?
Was there any issue with the connector staying on the new sensor since you "broke it off" the old one?
Thanks Brother, super helpful and detailed video. 2014 Chrysler 300S... Tried dislodging the "Devil Clip" without removing the alternator, no bueno/ waste of time. Ended up loosing all three bolts from the alternator, left one of the bottom bolts still attached and just tilting the alternator gave plenty of room. The alternator bolt where David used the combo 4X4&Jack to loosen it. You can actually put your wrench on the bolt and then pull from above with plenty of room and leverage (took me awhile to figure that out).
Thank you for the tip! Glad to know that the video helped you get your Hemi repaired.
Thank you so much for this. The jack and block trick saved me a lot of time. On the connector, i had to push the red tab down away from the engine. I guess it depends on who installed it. But for reference for others the connector is just like that one on the EGR in the example, so picture that upside down and move it appropriately. I had better luck getting moving the tab from underneath the car.
Tom Magdaleno You are welcome and I'm glad you found it helpful. It seems like the sensor can be turned in any direction and still be tight enough to seal due to the NPT threads. I tried to match the number of threads showing from the old sensor. Thank you for watching!
This shit took me 3 hours in an autozone parking lot… had me personally threatening the engineers
I have a 2008 Magnum 5.7L same motor as you, but my OPS is closer to the right firewall in front of the front passenger.
I ended up not having to do any of this extra work. Loosened serpentine belt, popped the red clip with a flathead screwdriver, swapped sensor and oriented so clip was on top for future access.
There is a trick to this. Im not recommending it but if you're a big guy like me who cant move around or a young person without jack stands or maybe its just too hot or cold outside, heres what you do. Or maybe you just dont want to remove those long bolts of the alternator. You can do this is 20 minutes.
Take the lid for the air box off, you dont even need to dc the sensor, just the hose on the top of the filter box. let all that rest atop the engine cover. Get a 3/4 wratchet to pull back the belt tensioner, seperate the belt off the alternator pully. Now you want to get an idea of that sensor, Put your index finger on top of that sensor and feel for that red sliding clip. There is a empty space below that sliding clip between it and the sensor itself, similar to the ecm connector to top left. Now, Its a tight fit, you need skinny long fingers, not sausage hands to feet around. Once you figure out where that space is, Slide the screw driver in that empty space and push down gently and break that top red sliding clip off. Dont worry, it'll still literally clip back into place back in and hold tightly , it just wont have that the sliding clip on the top anymore. If you want to try and screw with that clip you'll be there all day. Once you do this gently work that sensor around. These things get hot overtime but eventually you'll feel a slight amount of play and it should release just fine if pull straight out. Dont pull on the wires to get this thing out, pull on the plastic connector itself. Alright so after that, like he said, oily wires, connector, clean that off. When you put it back in, its a pain in the ass. Again, put your index finger where your sensor should go, get a feel and attach a swivel/ short extension to the end of your long socket to give you more grip, baby it in. You only want this thing gently snug. Snap the connector back on, start it up, might have to drive in for a min to get normal pressure readings.
If you by chance happen to buy a cheap ebay or amazon sensor like i did and your realize there is no way your socket can fit it like the oem one does, put a 22mm 12 point around the male sensor connector, then swivel/ short extension. Once you get it in, turn and baby it in slowly then tighten until nicely snug. Clip the connector back in and wah lah.
And there you have it, no alternator removal.
I just changed this on an srt8. Didn't take off the alternator. Just removed the belt and popped the red clip with a small screwdriver. Bit of a job to get fingers in the space.
Nice job! 👍
Thanks for the helping tips, You have gain a new subscriber.
You are welcome and Thank You!
Thank you for that video, I have to replace that sensor too and now I see what and how to do it.
300CV8Hemi You're welcome! Glad you found it helpful.
I have to replace this too
Chrysler built these cars so F-ing weird unbelievable how far they went to make sure most people couldn't do self repairs. Thanks Chrysler ! Good vid Sir Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Good job on taking that alternator off. It sucked for me putting it back inn
+robert alvarez Thanks! Hope you found the video helpful.
Would it have been easier to just remove the edge valve and tube??
This was my very first DIY car fix. It was frustrating as hell but I got the god damn job done!
Good job! 👍
Very detailed video! Thank you!
You're welcome! Glad you found it helpful.
HE ALSO MENTIONED IN THE VIDEO THAT THERE WAS A MINOR LEAK FROM SENSOR ONTO ALTERNATOR MOUNT! MY SENSOR WAS MAKING PUDDLES!
Cool music, great job.
xin zang Thank you!
Lucky for me mine didn't have the red tab... Your vid still helped so thanks
Glad it helped you!
what year was it?
@@christopherhuezo3485 2006 RT
thank god , thank you hopefully we have the same model number or whatever i have a 06 as well
Funny thing is he got under the car to loosen the alternator bolt and didn’t realize he could remove the connector and sensor while he was down there🤣🤣🤣
I did it the easier way by just removing the air intake and belt, getting a feel for where the clip was and removing it. At first I couldn’t feel the red clip, and after a while I decided to just pull on the clip and it slipped right off. The red clip was broken off. I assume it was broken due to the fact that it is a rebuilt engine. But anyways I’m just happy to have replaced the sensor because after a few months of having the check engine light on, my car was beginning to shut itself off randomly and I assume it was due to the bad sensor.
doombeast45 That’s great! I’m glad you got it swapped out.
You might want to replace your EGR & EVAP if it randomly shuts off. I had that same problem.
You know you can just take it out from under the car without removing other parts right?
How can I tell the difference between the pressure one and tempature ... The pressure one is higher correct. And could this be part of the problem I have code 0520 and 0522 which is wrong oil type and low circuit or oil pressure etc. I replaced with Mopar but code came back
trisha valle The oil pressure sensor threads into the front of the block as shown in the video. The oil temperature sensor threads into the side, above the oil filter. It looked to me like the oil temperature sensor could be removed fairly easily, if memory serves me. It has been a while since I’ve looked but I do think that the oil pressure sensor is higher than the oil temperature sensor.
It can be done without taking out the alternator or removing the bolts....I know because I just finished replacing mine. But it will take a lot of patience and time...and a little luck. The hardest part of the job is getting the connector off of the sensor because it has a clip that must be slid to the side before you can depress the tab and pull it off. I admit it took me over an hour using a small screw driver and some mirrors to undo the clip, but getting at the alternator bolts is a PITA too so I guess six of one and I choose working on getting the clip moved. Once you do that and baring you have the right size socket with the correct depth barrel, it's easy peasy after that.
Just had the same thing happen on my 5.7 charger. Do you know if it's located on the same spot for the 5.7 Chargers
Jason Hinton As far as I know it is the same location. In fact, the other day I was looking under the hood of a 2019 Ram 1500 with a 5.7 and the sensor was in the same location.
nice detailed vid 👍
Fili Sanchez Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
Great vid! After switching the red locking tab over can you just pull the connector off or is there something holding it in place?
Darrin Jones There’s also a clip you have to push to pull it off. The connector is the same as the EGR. Push the red clip to the side and then push the “button” down and pull the plug off of the sensor.
DavidJWarEagle Thanks so much bro you helped out alot I replaced it in about 10 minutes minus the clean up time. Thanks bro
Darrin Jones Glad to help! Thanks for watching and commenting.
Thanks
Hello since your oil pressure was due for a chance was your dash showing the red oil light at idle? Mine shows up at low idle and once I accelerate it takes off, my check engine light came on first & then after about 10 min of driving as soon as I release the gas the light comes on, and I give it gas it comes off
No, I first got a check engine light then a few days later the oil came on but it stayed on whenever the engine was running. The engine speed made no difference.
Almost certain they have gorillas install the alternator bolts at the factory 😂
ivory rounds lol very much so! Just changed oem alt on my 06 SRT😂 The bolts cry on the way out with every video I see!
Hey atleast they ain’t going anywhere lol
Good video, thank you.
Petr Karmanov Thanks and you’re welcome!
Nice vid ! What part nbr for oil switch for srt8 charger 6.4? Or is same switch for 5,7 nd 6,4 hemi? Thnx
Chris Sglimbea I don’t know for sure but you can contact your local Chrysler/Dodge Dealer and they can confirm it for you based on the VIN. Thanks for watching and commenting!
DavidJWarEagle sure thnx
0514 pn for sensor is for both engines 5,7 nd 6,4 hemi just for refrance .
I changed mine on a 480 short block without moving the alternator
Craig Hubbs Nice!
I wonder what's the sensor called that's located an inch above the oil filter?
Temp sensor
Does this cause low oil pressure at idle or could low pressure be triggering a faulty switch code
This is only an oil pressure sensor so it doesn’t cause low oil pressure itself, unless it has a massive leak which you would see. A good mechanical gauge for testing/checking the oil pressure would probably be best if you suspect there is a problem with the engine itself.
mine is Dodge Charger RT 2010
Are they located on the same direction
Mamadou ba The sensor is in the same place. In fact, a month ago, I was looking at a 2019 Ram 1500 with a Hemi and the sensor was in the same location on the block.
I have oil pressure low changed it with 3 aftermarket and 1 from dealership but oil pressure still low any ideas
You ever figure it out
If this sensor were to leak would it drip down to the corner of the oil pan
I think that is possible. Normally I use my cell phone to make a short video to view locations that are hard to see, like around that sensor.
I know that is videos is for a 5.7 but in my 2012 300 the location is at the top of the motor towards the back is that the same switch but just a different location for the 5.7?
Most Hemi blocks have the sensor in the same location. I noticed it is in the same spot on the 2019 Ram. I would get the correct sensor for your engine from your local dealer to ensure you’re getting the correct one.
@@DavidJWarEagle I guess what I'm trying to say is with the Hemi Motors is it located behind the alternator and the regular engines is located at the top of the engine towards the back???
very good video, one more question: in the video shows another sensor, besides. in the same base of the oil filter. and smaller than the other one that you replace. you know what is it?. appreciate your help.
I think that is the oil temperature sensor. That one looks fairly easy to access from below.
Did you have any oil leaks right after you engine light came on for the oil pressure switch?
michael castro I think there was a slow leak when the check engine light came on. There was oil in the sensor connector and also a little down below in the plastic belly pan. It wasn’t obvious though. Thanks for watching and commenting.
DavidJWarEagle, thanks
Man great video!!! I am having a hard time taking the sensor housing off. I don't wanna break it(frustration is pushing me there)...I'll be happy if I can go buy a tool to make this come of I will,.. If you have any extra tips on it would greatly appreciate it 😊. Thanks in advance
Thanks buddy! Can you explain further what you mean about taking the sensor housing off? I used a deep socket to remove the sensor from the block.
@@DavidJWarEagle the tab that needs to be pushed to remove the electrical cover/housing cover/ the piece that you cleaned with the cleaner. Giving me the blues..🤔
Oh, right, you’re referencing the red locking tab on the wiring harness connector. You might try spraying a little WD-40 on it to get it moving. The same type of locking tab is shown early on in the video (on the EGR valve) to show you how to remove it.
@@DavidJWarEagle ok Total update!!! Finally got the tab to move so that I can replace the oil pressure sensor...man I was soooo happy until I put it all back together only to find another issue.
That issue was....
Turn car on... idles for about 3min then the idle would go up and then go down...even in drive gear Up and Down....I was heated🤬.... looking at the dash when this happens a red lightning bolt would pop up on the dash...the problem here was this....when you have the battery disconnected for a long period of time you have to reset the Electronic Throttle body...you do that by pressing the start button to RUN but don't start the car up...let all the lights go out...the press the accelerator (gas pedal)all the way down and then back up...that's how you reset the Electronic Throttle
@@DavidJWarEagle sorry about the book
I jist went through wheel well under the car and loosend it from oul filter housing took 20 min to replace max
Smart. Did you have to move the alternator?
What year is the car?? Is it the same for a 2012 ram with the 5.7???
Danny Leon This is a 2005 Magnum. I think this part is the same for all the Hemi engines but check with your local Ram dealer to be sure. They can verify by the VIN. You could also check on Parts.com to see if the part number will show there for your truck.
How did u get the fault code to show on the dash ?
I figured it would be easier to show you instead of telling you. Check out this video and thanks for watching.
Mopar diagnostic code retrieval without a code reader (The Mopar Key Dance)

Really, try this at your own risk. Yep, and clean the connection.
What year is ur car I have an 06 Dodge charger Daytona rt I got the part number from the video just trying to make sure it's for my year
jack T This is a 2005 Magnum. As far as I know the sensor is the same for all the 5.7 Hemi engines. You might be able to check with a dealer to verify. Usually they ask for the last 8 digits of the VIN when quoting parts. Thanks for watching and commenting!
JT 1200 Can I ask what your charger is doing??
Was your car able to start prior having the code before you changed it
Yes, it ran great before and after the code and replacement of the sensor.
Do you have to drain the engine oil to do this?
Nope. This is above the oil pan so no need.
Why’d you change it? My oil light keeps coming on and off n my 07 charger rt?
My oil pressure light was on and I also had a check engine light with the P0520 (I think) DTC. Also EVIC in diagnostic mode was showing 99PSI the whole time until I changed the sensor.
@@DavidJWarEagle I had an engine light come on and got a diagnostic and it’s throwing P0520 if I check my Oil levels do you think it would be safe to drive if those are reading OK
When my sensor failed I had to remind myself that it wasn’t a mechanical failure but a problem with the oil pressure sensor or circuit (P0520). If my engine had suddenly lost oil pressure it would have seized up in short order and I would have had a huge oil leak under the engine. I did try to avoid driving it until I got the sensor replaced because I wouldn’t know if I actually did lose oil pressure.
@@DavidJWarEagle I watched your video for the exact same code and pressure reading on my Ram 1500. I also have the same thoughts you had for a reason to change it. Thanks for the awesome video
You’re welcome. Thanks for the kind words!
Helpp, i took it to the mechanic to get replaced and the check engine light came kn for the same code after i replaced it
I would take it back to the mechanic that replaced the sensor.
DavidJWarEagle thanks for your reply
DavidJWarEagle the check engine light came off now by itself, but when i do the self diagnose it shows the code does that mean its fixed and is just showing the previous code it had or is it still pending to be fixed
@@noplugace1628 To clear the code detach the neg battery terminal and let sit for 2 hrs. Then reattach and it will reset/clear the code
I just did one of these. Funny it pops up in my feed
Cool. Did you use the method in the video or another way?
No. I just noticed this says Chrysler, I have a Dodge. Mine was more in the open, I just used a crescent wrench.
@DavidJWarEagle do you know if 6.1l srt8 is located in same area?
Yes, it should be in the same spot on the 6.1. You can either use a mirror or record a video with your cell phone to look in that area.
@@DavidJWarEagle ok mine doesn't have enough red tab on either side to push, pull, or grasp like yours, I just dont understand.
@@DavidJWarEagle ok, yesterday I put mine in. For the 6.1L, its location is the same spot. You do have to unbolt alternator to remove the sensor.
To release the red lock tab successfully quicker ,a crescent needs to be used to turn the sensor until you see the red tab.
10:35 had me in tears 🤣😭
Does the oil pressure sensor have anything to do with a cylinder 3 misfire
I don’t think so.
No but your dropped valve seat probably does.
@@sprprops1 😂 i didn't wanna laugh but that was funny
is it same for 06 dodge charger rt location of sensor etc???
The sensor will be in the same place and the procedure should be the same for the Charger. Thanks for the comment.
Yea
what size socket is needed?
Daniel swingster See 1:10 and 13:50 in the video. Thanks for the comment.
That's funny mines not there its blocked off, however the oil filter has one is that the one I need to replace?
I think the one next to the oil filter is the oil temp sensor. What car/truck do you have?
@@DavidJWarEagle 05 jeep grand cherokee limited hemi 5.7 4x4
@@DavidJWarEagle ibb.co/PmtvVNB
I think the sensor next to the filter is the one on your Jeep GC. It looks like yours is easier than the Hemi cars. I found this:
th-cam.com/video/0o8ng5k-KVI/w-d-xo.html
Just make sure to get an OEM Mopar sensor from a dealer. Those aftermarket ones are junk from what I understand.
I got a 2006 Ram 1500 5.7. Does this make your car not start?
No, I don’t believe the sensor will keep it from starting. I drove mine with the faulty sensor for about a week before I replaced it.
DavidJWarEagle if the engine has a light knock to it is it the sensor still or no
No, not the sensor. The sensor allows the computer to monitor the oil pressure inside the engine. If you’re hearing a knock then it sounds like you have a mechanical problem with the engine.
How much would the dealership charge for this job
I checked today $278.
Does anybody know the Threadsize of this Pressure Switch ?
Its 1/8 npt
@@tbah9402
Right......meanwhile I also have an adapter to preoil the brandnew engine ..
Nvertheless, thanks to you !
Hi can you drive the car if it has that code? I want to buy a 06 dodge charger hemi but guy said it has a code for oil pressure sensor. Can u buy it and drive it back home to have it fixed?
Abram Brown Hi Abram, I actually drove my Magnum for about a week before I replaced the sensor. After a couple of days the oil pressure light came on and stayed on. It was unnerving but I reminded myself that there wasn’t a mechanical problem with the oil pump only the sensor. At any rate, I wouldn’t let it go too long before replacement.
@@DavidJWarEagle thank you
You’re welcome!
@Skull T Album what red light?
I would probably stop driving it. Have you checked the oil level with the dipstick?
Yeah I had to buy another oil pressure sensor because the aftermarket one gave me that code again. I guess you have to buy Mopar or it will complain about it 🙄. Here we go again 😒.
Yeah, that is no fun. Hopefully the second time around will be easier and quicker. 👍
Nice Job. One question. Either those alternator bolts were SUPER tight, or you don't have much strength as needed without using a pipe to act as more leverage?
Those bolts are pretty tight and possibly slightly seized. You can see the car raise a bit before the bolts break loose. I’d be sure to put some anti-seize on the threads before reinstalling. Thanks for the comment.
Kinda off subject but has anyone had the sensor fail repeatedly? Last one only made it 6 weeks?
i haven’t had this problem with the sensor. I recommend getting the sensor from your local dealer or one of the dealers who sell online to be sure you’re getting an actual OEM part. I think there should be a warranty on the OEM part but I don’t know for sure. If you’re buying from Amazon or eBay then there is a possibility you’re getting a counterfeit sensor or non-OEM sensor that is known to fail in short order.
@@DavidJWarEagle getting the part directly from the dodge dealer…….over and over …LOL
That is odd for sure. Are they covering the new sensor by warranty, and have the folks at the parts counter seen the new sensors failing?
@@DavidJWarEagle yes they are exchanging under warranty….I don’t think they care :(
That’s unfortunate but probably out of their control. I wonder if this is due to the supply chain problems we have? Hard to say. I hope this gets resolved for you.
why did you need to change that sensor?
Alex Pizarro I had a check engine light and P0520 code that is shown at the beginning of the video. Thx.
DavidJWarEagle My oil light comes off and my car turns off. I'm not getting that code.
Alex Pizarro That might be worth your money to have a shop diagnose. The car turning off would make me pursue that. Are you getting any codes? Is there enough oil in the engine?
bee Lover Did that fix it??. I have a 06 Dodge Charger and while I'm driving in a matter of seconds my rpms drop and my check engine and oil light comes on then it goes back to normal or it dies. The only way to get it to start when it dies is to add oil to it even though it doesn't need it.
Should of changed that belt to while you were at it lol
I thought about it but it had no cracks and it takes fewer than five minutes to replace.
May I ask where did you get the part from?
I picked it up at my local Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep/Ram dealer. Thanks for watching!
Has no one ever heard of google?
?? You a year too late with that one bruh!! Car up runnin and you gotta go to Dodge Google will give you your local auto parts store
I had to drop the alt
Thank you!
You are welcome, thanks for watching!
I just did this and wtf what a pain it was. Neighbors def hear f bombs this am
No kidding! I wish I had a lift instead of laying on the floor to do it.
I changed mine, now I'm getting a different code telling me the sensor pressure or whatever voltage is low po522, never buying me another american car.
Roman Nes*n I just replaced mine, was getting P0522. Then after the new one went in, it changed to P0520.. lol still says oil sensor so I’m thinking it’s the “oil temperature sensor” located next to the oil filter. Only way to it is by getting underneath . Gonna have to wait for another day now ha
@@NWanglerzCHOICE 😱 so what happened after you changed the oil sensor?
I did this last year from the bottom of the truck, now I have the code again, 520 .truck will not start smh
RichCastle I think the genuine OEM sensors have a warranty so you might check with the dealership, if you got yours there.
DavidJWarEagle yeah no such luck, it's a bwd product. I suspect the pcm only because it didn't (the code) pop up before. thanks
Voice is a little low
good mechanic dont have to remove alternator to replace sensor or go through back seat to reconnect battery if he closes trunk while disconnected
Found out u dnt have to do all that knuckle busting moans to replace tge sensor!!! Best easy way is buy the socket for it place it under alternator nd loosen it OUT nd screw in the new sensor 30 min job took for me to change it !! Lol
I assume everyone making vids on here has superman hearing do something about your audio. Strange music way too loud. The thumbs down for poor audio not content..
Thank you for the feedback. I shot this a couple of years ago but I think my editing skills have improved since then. You might check out my two most recent videos let me know what you think. Thanks again.
