Note for those newly reasearching this "better idea" : The oil pressure "switch" wiring that feeds they guage routes through the fuel sender "slosh box" on newew models (such as my 2002) which moderates fuel system fluctuations. Probably has some effect on the oil sender as well.

Hi, New Yorker. Welcome to FTE. This is a great site for all things Ranger.

In order for us to help you, you need to give us more information about your truck. In this instance, what engine do you have?

I've change them before and this one looks what I remember, but I can't seem to find mine? Do I just need better glasses?

It's behind the passenger side head next to the cam position sensor which looks like a mini distributor.
