In a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500, you can locate the oil pressure sensor on the right side of the engine compartment, just above the oil filter. When you need to replace it, you can access the sensor from above or below the vehicle. To detach the sensor from the engine block, you will need a 10mm socket. Symptoms of a faulty oil pressure sensor include a ticking noise from the engine and a low pressure error code. Other potential causes could be issues with the oil pressure control solenoid or a damaged rod in the oil filter housing. The cost for diagnosing and replacing this sensor typically falls between $150 and $300, depending on the specific parts needed and the amount of labor involved in the repair.
The oil pressure sensor on a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 can be found towards the rear and upper part of the engine bay.
