In response to rockfangd
rock-fang-d, they are BOTH "oil pressure sending units" (and they are BOTH "oil pressure sensors" (they BOTH work off of grounds, because EVERYTHING in an elelctrically operated car/truck uses GROUNDS to work. You didn't advise the questioning member that he has no worries at all. Because that is the final answer.Whether a car/truck has one, or two, or three, or 15 oil pressure senders/sensors, they are NEEDED for multiple jobs, so don't SWEAT the Small Stuff. As for the LEAKS that the questioner mentioned (and you didn't even comment on), the use of gasket-sealer at the threaded joint in question, or a cast-iron or brass pipe plug in it's place,but the man need not freak out just because there are more than ONE oil pressure sensor/sender/respondent/ indicator..... ok. the one on the back of the engine is a oil pressure sending unit. It goes to the pcm and enables the fuel pump once oil pressure is recognized. There is room in the plug for 3 wires but I believe this one only uses 1.
The one near the oil filter is for the gauge. It works off a ground. It is called the oil pressure sensor.
please feel free to correct me if I am wrong on this as I am going off the top of my head on what I am familiar with.
Also the sender is long and skinny and the sender is more stubby
