This works perfect on a 2014 Charger RT (Hemi). I recommend a 6 point socket as the 12 point doesn't grab well unless you cock it. When starting the new sensor, I found it was easier to see from the top. Thanks for this video and instruction. Didn't want to move the alternator.
Why did i waste about 3 hours researching how to do this >.< everyone made it seem like its a 2 hr job Lmaoooo ..... u literally made it the most simplest it can be , im gonna save $300 and do it myself , thanks a million bud’
Apologies right off the bat for the audio. Didn't do much of a commentary, just mumbled along while holding the phone. Its my first Vid. I had already removed the engine cover and air intake to get the best access. I took a while fiddling with red locking clip and removed it entirely after I found that the connector would rotate (that was handy, dont know if should turn) and used long nose pliers to pull it out. The connector didnt want to come off I and conceded that the serpentine belt needed to go. once that is off you can get you hand onto the connector pretty easily. find and depress the secondary locking tab (which no-one had mentioned before) with your thumb and wiggle the connector off. 27mm (1 1/16" ) double depth socket fits over the sensor. wind it out. I inserted the new one into the socket with 6" extension and started it by hand. The sensor's threads were already coated with a sealant. It was possible to get about 2 turns on by hand and then finished it off with the socket. Before it got fully tight I removed the socket to check orientation of the connector and wound it on another 1/4 turn which made it so i could fit the connector with a natural grip and access the locking tab a little more easily in case it needs to be repeated. I didnt bother putting the red clip back in, that connector is not going anywhere. Belt back on, engine start, no leaks, 58 psi at cold idle and shut down. Cleared the trouble code with my predator and restarted. No more CEL, MDS functioning. Not difficult at all if you take off the belt and have the right socket. Leave the alternator where it is.
@Jon Corke I would love to see the red tab be unlocked. Mine does not protect to either side to even be able to be pushed upon. In others vids it does. I just dont understand.
Hi thanks for this video! I’ll be using this really soon to replace my sensor. I have a question though: Along with the 27mm socket, what size and type of wrench did you use for this repair?
old video but wanted to throw this out there. I didn't have a 27mm so i was kinda screwed on it as i didn't know if the sensor was bad or if i really had 96 psi of oil pressure. me and a buddy spent about 3 1/2 hours pulling stuff out and struggling with the alternator to get this sensor out with vice grips and prayers. watching this video a half hour after i finished is just insult to injury
I tried to remove the alternator on 14 charger rt and my hands are too big . This video helps quite a bit...... I hope i can spin the connector on mine
This job can go easily, or make you hate life for an entire day. If the connector has a locking tab that cannot be reached, then the alternator must drop down and away. You'll need to take the serpentine belt off the alternator (not hard, get the wrench from Harbor Freight or use a ratchet wrench). The top alternator bolt isn't hard, the bottom two SUCK. You'll need a 16mm wrench and I could only get to them from the bottom. To make matter worse, the first sensor I put in failed immediately. Don't buy Chinesium junk from Amazon. Get a Dorman brand from Rock Auto. Screw in the new sensor such that the connector locking tab can be accessed with a screwdriver or long pick without resorting to use of a mirror, incantations and colorful language.
Hope you worked it out. My motor is from a 2012 challenger but it’s in a 2005 single cab Ram. My sensor went bad this morning. I’m about to go to the store and pick up a new one.
Got a CEL and used my predator to pull the code. Engine oil high i think. Checked the gauge and it was at 147 psi with ign on whether engine running or not. MDS inop with an oil pressure sensor fault. Otherwise no symptoms. Swapped the sensor. All is good.
What if I broke the tab that I need to push up and or press down? I tried doing this job today and I gave up :/ I backed out all 3 bolts to the alternator and all. It took a toll on me I’m gonna have to remove the alternator completely, and the radiator hose to do this job successfully on my 6.4 since I already broke the the tab on connector. Gonna try again this Sunday bright and early in the morning
If the tab is broken off you may be able to withdraw the connector....it just wont lock on but it fits si tight anyway i dont think it needs any kind of extra lock.
Jon Corke thanks for your reply I seen there’s a tab that you have to press up..I think that’s all that’s holding it in place right now. I got confused cause the tab that’s red is actually brown. So I am gonna try soon again. This time with the engine cold. Thanks!!
Press the black tab qith thumb and pull off. The red tab just prevents the black tab from releasing ad i recall. I dont think i refitted it. Too much security imo.
I started messing with a sensor that is located right below this one and goes in above the oil filter, what sensor is that one? I cant get the red tab back on that one.
@@joncorke760 Thanks, I think the one right above the oil filter is the oil temperature sensor, thats the one i pulled the red tab off of. I was able to change out the oil pressure sensor, it was pretty easy cause I am also doing the water pump so I had everything off.
@@joncorke760 Yes!! I brought the sensor and socket today and put it on myself in less than 30 minutes thanks to your video. You help me to save hundreds Thank you my friend. Please post more videos thank you.

Were you able to turn the connector like this?

Yes he made" it seem ". That red tab is a B . I cant remove mine and spent hours

Thanks ...my 18 doesn't have the red lock but instead a flat squeeze tab....thank you for your video
I have an 18 as well and cannot get the damn thing off. How do you manipulate this type of connector?

I found this video literally after i just bought a 27mm from harbor frieght. Just gotta let the car cool and swap the sensor.
WOW!! Remove the belt and that's it! What in the world or the other guys doing then?
Hell spending hours unsuccessfully trying to unlock the red tab. Dont ask me how I know.
No worries. Just get the belt off and all is good.
I’m about to find out whether I should’ve joined the oil first
What year and car is this. I have a 6.4 2012 300 I’m about to start on
Hope you worked it out. My motor is from a 2012 challenger but it’s in a 2005 single cab Ram. My sensor went bad this morning. I’m about to go to the store and pick up a new one.
Was your engine knocking ? Or did the light just come on for the oil pressure sensor
Got a CEL and used my predator to pull the code. Engine oil high i think. Checked the gauge and it was at 147 psi with ign on whether engine running or not. MDS inop with an oil pressure sensor fault. Otherwise no symptoms. Swapped the sensor. All is good.
I have a 6.1 300 cam swapped, now with low pressure while idling. Will this fix the issue??
Brilliant!!!
Did you drain the oil before installing the new sensor?
no need to drain oil. As long as you shut the engine off right?
Is it safe to take that belt off?? What happens if it's not aligned right? Is that timing belt?
No its not a timing belt. This engine uses a chain for that. This is a poly groove belt for alternator water pump and power steering
@@joncorke760 okay sweet! Thanks man

Your clip must have been broken off your sensor, its a red clip that supposed lock it in place
HI my clip fell inside engine somewhere - Do I really need it ?
For the dodge charger srt 6.4 2014, does it have oil cooler?
Where is it located?
The oil cooler should be what the oil filter screws into. My motor is from a 2012 and the oil cooler was removed to clear the steering rack.
What car is this? I keep hearing you need to remove alt on my 2008 charger rt
It is 2009 charger r/t. Exactly as shown nothing more needs to come off.
@@joncorke760 thank you
I started messing with a sensor that is located right below this one and goes in above the oil filter, what sensor is that one? I cant get the red tab back on that one.
I wouldnt worry about the red tab. The connector wont fall off. It is still latched with the black thumb tab.

Dude, I have an 06 Charger R/T and this magic won't work for my car. Unfortunately I have to remove the alternator.
Ive changed my sensor on my charger n its still throwing that code
Disconnect the battery for an hour then reconnect it
Did you clear the code? If so then it may be a bad wire or poor connection
Is this process the same on the 6.1 srt?
Did it go into limp mode bc of the sensor
Mine did not go into limp. Just turned on the warning ⚠️ lights
What size socket did you use?
Hi. The socket is 27mm or 1 1/16". Pause the video at 0:36
