Where is the Oil Pressure Sending Unit on a 1998 Ford Explorer 4.0 pushrod V-6 4x4 (non-sport model)?
I am trying to find the unit so that I can replace it. I hear that they fail aroud 90 to 120 thousand miles. My Eplorer is showing no oil pressure inside the vehicle on the instrumentation, however, I am sure that oil is flowing thru the engine. I just need to find the unit that needs replacement. I have the new one ($8). I have been told that they are by the oil filter. It does not appear to be there. Someone else said the other side of the engine (drivers side). I don't seem to see it there either. The engine compartment is cramped and very hard to see around everything. I have a 4.0 pushrod V-6 (not the SOHC engine). If someone has changed this before, please describe where it is and approximately how many inches in each direction to locate it if possible. I have felt around all over the lower part of the engine, but do not find it. I know that I should be able to find the wire going to it, but I'm not having any luck. Anyone who can help, I'd really appreciate it. Thank you.

Yes it is indeed on the LEFT (driver side) side of the engine, at the front, below the exhaust manifold near cylinder #4. I know it's difficult to access. There is a single wire connected to it, as you already know since you have the new part. Hope this helps.

Fords develop charging complications and suddenly, drain the battery and the vehicle dies because there is not sufficient voltage to fireplace the spark plugs. in the experience that they could't locate problems with the alternator, they favor to dig in and locate the charging equipment fuse- ford has been regularly occurring to cover that outdoors the fuse field the position the different fuses are in order to promote alternators you do not choose. replace that fuse. that is a 5 amp fuse and should be a fifteen amp, then your alternator can get juice to the battery. yet, if i wanted to console you in any respect, i'd factor out the difficult operating mechanic who worked to earn $500 from you extremely of begging or stealing it.
