ok the haynes manual has failed (again).does the oil pressure sending unit control the oil pressure gauge???? if not, what does??? also, where is it located???
my gauge hasn't worked for a 1 1/2 years so i've decided to fix it

Look right above the oil filter.Where the oil filter screws on there is a sending unit that just screws out and a new one screws in.Thats it.You could use a cresent wrench if you don't have a tool for the unit.

There's also a fuel pump safety switch there, with two pins; it also monitors oil pressure, but leave it in.

--Or, am I wrong? Did that switch disappear (or move) on the 3.1's? I know it's definately a 2.8 thing.
