I did mine today,I had to remove the batter,air filter box and battery tray.And it was still hard to do.But it finished and I'm kicking back with a beer.
Thanks for posting this video! I have an 04 SXT which keeps randomly turning the oil pressure light and the chime that comes with it on and off. I didn't have a clue where to look for that sensor and I sure didn't know it would take that super special socket! You really helped me out.
I had an incredibly difficult time finding it, then pulling off the connector. Use a mirror and flashlight to find it. It tucks under a ledge and has one wire to it. You will see the bright yellow in the mirror. You can get one hand on it but my fingers couldn't get it to budge. I finally grabbed it with a small vise grip, worked it up and down, and it pulled off. Then removing the sensor with the socket was easy. Thanks for video
Jose Rodriguez No it’s a sensor for the engine oil in your motor. The oil pressure sensor is a basic electrical switch that provides information to the instrument cluster’s oil pressure gauge with the accurate real-time pressure.
Right on!!...Good video and thanks for the patient guidance and you have good shots of the clip that's awesome I might even make another one for extra emotional support for everyone's frustration....Got mother-trucker too!!....
I'm trying to figure out if it's actually the sensor in my Neon that's bad. Mine is a 2003, after I get off the highway and stop at a red light/stop sign my low oil pressure light comes on. But when I get off my brakes and start going the light goes back off :/
Lycanroc395 that's what it sounds like, mine was doing the same thing now it's on almost all the time. Should have blown up by now if there was no oil pressure but the engine is smooth and quiet
mattallica 89 actually no it's not, in fact it's harder if not impossible to get to it. It's in a very cluttered spot. I have found the best way to go thru the top. It's a pain but it will be less stressful going in from the top.
if that is Teflon tape I'm seeing being extruded out around the sensor, that will give you problems later on because you're not giving it a good ground to the engine block. It's okay to put some on the threads but if it is outside where the sensor seats flush on the engine, it will prevent a good ground
is this throwing a code mine dies randomly and don't wana start randomly changed the cam shaft sensor changed the positive wire to starter checked the altinator put new camshaft sensor on still does it fuel pump seems to engauge
edward moriarty I replaced it due to my oil pressure light going on/off after accelerating from a complete stop. The car would drive normal, there were no hiccups or anything. Just the "Ding" noise at every complete stop.
Nope, the steering system or driveline in directly in the way. It's pretty much impossible to go Up and over the components with your hands while maintaining dexterity to pop the clips off, maybe if you had Super small arms and hands, you could slip threw, but you'll be cutting up your arms bad...lol.
+Juan Zuniga Its difficult to get from underneath, there are several brackets and other things in the way of getting to it. From the top you just have to get past the cover around the exhaust.
chris huffman hey Chris, not sure about the actual code... but your check engine light does come on... when your driving it will kick on and off when you come to a complete stop and drive off again
This video is a good video but makes it look way easier than it is :( I'm going to have to take mine in to the mechanic because I couldn't even get the red tab pushed in. Everything in there is so hard to see and reach, whether it's above the car or under the car.
washcloththo sorry about you having to take it to the mechanic, believe me it was hard for me trying to replace it for the first time as well. There were some moments where I wanted to give up.. hope your car is good now. :)
must be nice to have the sensor flipped the same way in every video, except mine is flipped down, and no matter what I do I cannot get acces to the red tab.
Brian Hunter man that sucks, you could always try going underneath and attempt it that way. But I have heard it's if not harder going that route... don't give up man!!!
Hey thanks, my mechanic friend(certified) and me were working on her earlier. That red clip being upside down is pain in the rear. Were going to put her on the lift this Wed.
young man. thanks so much for your help. i just bought a 2000 Neon with a nasty oil leak. i lifted the car, put it on jack stands, started the engine and searched for the leak source. it appears to be coming from the oil pressure sending unit/sensor/switch. the electrical connector on my switch looks just like yours. it's distinctive for sure. God bless you young man.
The handle is called a ratchet. They typically come in 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", and if working on larger equipment, 3/4" and 1" 'drive'. 3/8" and 1/2" drive ratchets and sockets are typically adequate for most 'home mechanical projects'. 1/4" drive and ratcheting box wrenches are nice for small hardware or in close quarters- ie.: timing belt and heater core covers, blend doors and actuators, etc.
Miles Watkins sorry about that, I just wanted to be as detailed as possible. Plus you can always skip to certain parts you need in the video if your on a time constraint:)

Glad to hear that my dude. I know it’s a pain.
Hey its Dustin when u changed the sensor did the oil light go out
Dustin Mathews
Yes, but I had to log in about 50 miles or so to have the computer diagnostic itself. Ran like a champ after that.
@@itsfiascoyo0387 OK did that cost u much to do that

Robert glad the video helped you out bud!! 👍
This is happening to me right now. Glad it’s an easy fix.
why does it have only one wire?
I had an incredibly difficult time finding it, then pulling off the connector. Use a mirror and flashlight to find it. It tucks under a ledge and has one wire to it.

t kers70 your very welcome, glad the video helped in some kind of way!!! Hehehe
Is this the transmission oil pressure sensor if not do you know we’re it is I got a code for p0871.
Jose Rodriguez No it’s a sensor for the engine oil in your motor. The oil pressure sensor is a basic electrical switch that provides information to the instrument cluster’s oil pressure gauge with the accurate real-time pressure.
Jose Rodriguez that P0871 code identifies a problem with the pressure of the fluid inside of the transmission. You might have a leak or low T-Fluid.
is this on 2005 dodge neon 2.0 engine
2004, but the same engine should be on a 2005.
Right on!!...Good video and thanks for the patient guidance and you have good shots of the clip that's awesome I might even make another one for extra emotional support for everyone's frustration....Got mother-trucker too!!....
Jeremy Mounce glad I could help sir
This was extremely helpful even today! Thank you so much! Im just learning my car
Had to also do a replacement
Aesthetic Shinobi glad the video could help!!!

Lycanroc395 that's what it sounds like, mine was doing the same thing now it's on almost all the time. Should have blown up by now if there was no oil pressure but the engine is smooth and quiet
Lycanroc395 yes most likely its the sensor...98% sure
Would it be easier to remove from the bottom of the car? Replacing mine this weekend
mattallica 89 actually no it's not, in fact it's harder if not impossible to get to it. It's in a very cluttered spot. I have found the best way to go thru the top. It's a pain but it will be less stressful going in from the top.
Yes the top its easier on access than the buttom due to the cross member support kind of blocking it...really tight room.
if that is Teflon tape I'm seeing being extruded out around the sensor, that will give you problems later on because you're not giving it a good ground to the engine block. It's okay to put some on the threads but if it is outside where the sensor seats flush on the engine, it will prevent a good ground
should it be in the same spot on an 2003 neon se... I thought it was in front of the engine on mine
Yes Priscilla, that sensor should be in the same spot.
Did you apply a silicone gasket or something like this? I mean the white stuff under the new sensor.
no, didn't apply a new gasket to it. don't think it has a gasket underneath the sensor.
is this throwing a code mine dies randomly and don't wana start randomly changed the cam shaft sensor changed the positive wire to starter checked the altinator put new camshaft sensor on still does it fuel pump seems to engauge
Thanks man. Hope you will do one on oil pump.
Unrelated to the part, but why are all 04 neons silver?
Brandon Thomas I have mostly seen them red, blue and white.. but then again I’m in Tx lol
itsfiascoyo0387 Almost every 04 I've seen has been silver, mine included. I've seen 05 on black but I only ever see colors on the older ones XD
i have a 2005 dodge neon sxt is it the same way i have to get to mine
Yes sir Bryan mac. Should be in the same location.
itsfiascoyo0387
Hey bro my dodge neon doesn't have any crank when i turn the key plus the oil light comes on the oil is half way full any suggestions?
why did you replace it? what were the symptoms of the part failure
edward moriarty I replaced it due to my oil pressure light going on/off after accelerating from a complete stop. The car would drive normal, there were no hiccups or anything. Just the "Ding" noise at every complete stop.
Thanks a lot this video helped just fix my 04 neon. I found it easier to remove battery after I did that it was easy to fix.
Abdul Estes glad I could help sir
Im glad you posted this video brotha i been looking everywhere for that darn sensor
Mailon Fuentes no problem glad I could help
Thanks for the video! Getting ready to change mine now.
Lenora Rice good luck Lenora!!
Got it changed with no problems, and hasn't leaked a drop since!
Your video is freaking useful, mate. Thanks!
Glad I could help
my oil light keeps going off when just I'm at a red light. then turns off when I accelerate. can it be the sensor?
+Skyefuego Yes! mine is doing that now, so am going to replace it today.
+Loni Carr thanks for the info.
Skyefuego Replaced the switch and the oil light no longer comes on. (thought you might like to have an update on that)
+Loni Carr I appreciate the info! I'll get mines done tomorrow
can you get the pressure sensor from the bottom?
Nope, the steering system or driveline in directly in the way. It's pretty much impossible to go Up and over the components with your hands while maintaining dexterity to pop the clips off, maybe if you had Super small arms and hands, you could slip threw, but you'll be cutting up your arms bad...lol.
On a SRT-4 yes you can. There is another video on youtube and you just move the PS cooler out of the way (2, 10mm bolts)
It’s a half inch socket wrench. Easy pizzy. Not a rocket surgery....
your vidoe was very helpfull thank you very much keep up the good work!!!
Ruben Sanchez thank you Ruben I hope you had success in changing that thing. Glad the video helped!!
yes i did thanks.. i think my small arms helped get that thing out haha
no offense reat video, but would it be easier to pick the car and do it from under the car? has anyone tried from under the car
+Juan Zuniga
Its difficult to get from underneath, there are several brackets and other things in the way of getting to it. From the top you just have to get past the cover around the exhaust.
yeah, bottom is damn near impossible, better off going underneath to LOOK at it, take a mental picture, then remove it from the TOP.
thanks for video very helpful in do mine later today
And that bar you mentioned its the valve cover breather hose that goes to the intake port
If I broke this hose could I still drive with out damaging my car?
Thank you very much, now it is easy :)
Ismo Kurkela you’re welcome. Glad the video helped!!
best on yet on youtube
does this throw a code
chris huffman hey Chris, not sure about the actual code... but your check engine light does come on... when your driving it will kick on and off when you come to a complete stop and drive off again
thx for the reply bro starting to look like mines is a computer issue not getting spark or gas lmao

thankyou. it worked
Cole Mcwilliams glad you could do it!!!!
Ty.
BullGator 🐊 glad the video helped out :)
Much Mahalo brah...
May pressure gauge stopped reading, IDK. I have a POS turbo in the way...
must be nice to have the sensor flipped the same way in every video, except mine is flipped down, and no matter what I do I cannot get acces to the red tab.

Hey thanks, my mechanic friend(certified) and me were working on her earlier. That red clip being upside down is pain in the rear. Were going to put her on the lift this Wed.
I hate those red tabs! I usually just end up breaking them off with pliers
ok
I just did mine at a casual pace in about 17 minutes.....
Why recorded when you already done the job?
young man. thanks so much for your help. i just bought a 2000 Neon with a nasty oil leak. i lifted the car, put it on jack stands, started the engine and searched for the leak source. it appears to be coming from the oil pressure sending unit/sensor/switch. the electrical connector on my switch looks just like yours. it's distinctive for sure. God bless you young man.
Rafael Manzo glad I could help :D
But good video after all show clarity on angles and focus on the actual part to be replaced with not much time recorded to do the tutorial...
thanks for the vid
Skidmark75 your welcome bud, good luck to ya!
find another past-time, videos is not your thing.
Jet
Maybe that’s why I don’t post videos daily??? 🤷♂️🤷♂️
1/2 " drive...thats the size of the socket wrench needed for that kind of socket you show on the vid
The handle is called a ratchet. They typically come in 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", and if working on larger equipment, 3/4" and 1" 'drive'.

Most people dont use the term DUDE no longer, DUDE.....lol
i have to say this is very very good video very instructive but for somnebody short on time you screwed them !
Miles Watkins sorry about that, I just wanted to be as detailed as possible. Plus you can always skip to certain parts you need in the video if your on a time constraint:)
