Dodge neon oil pressure..

The oil pump slows down or speeds up with engine rpms. If your concerned about oil pressure, hopefully, you could use an analog pressure gage in place of the oil pressure sending unit to double check oil pressure.

here is a video on youtube how to change it an where it is. on the back near the bottom with wire connected to it.

Hey,

I had the same problem. Replaced the oil pressure sensor and the problem was solved.(youtube showed me how)

Might be worth checking your oil level first. If that's correct, the previous answer sounds accurate.

Is your oil level low? If your oil pressure is low as indicated by the light, you will do serious damage to your engine if you continue to drive without repairing the fault. The fault could run the gamut from a loose oil pickup, to a bda oil pump to bad bearings.

lets hope its not a bad motor from lack of oil pressure, the loss of brakes and steering is due to the engine stopped running this is normal, but hte oil light coming on with the engine running is not good, you will need to see if the engine spins and trys to start, this will tell you a little bit, if it spins then it didnt lock up, and maybe its a fuelpump or timing belt that let go, you will have to do some testing ,check for fuel pressure and spark at the plugs,

You need to find out why the low oil pressure light is on. Either you are low of oil, the oil pump is not working properly, or the oil pressure sending unit is defective. Fix the problem and the light will go out. Do NOT start this engine until you find the cause of this. Low oil pressure will destroy this engine.

Sounds like oil pressure is dropping low enough at idle to trigger these alerts.

You need to investigate this ASAP before you lose the engine too lack of oil pressure.

its the oil presure sending unit......... rate as fixya thanks common on neons.......justuscc
