Great video and it helped a bunch changing out the switch. One thing I did that made a HUGE difference was removing the torque bar that goes across the engine bay. It's only 3 #13 bolts on each side and can be removed in under 5 minutes. With that off I had a lot more room to get both hands in use. I'm 6'1" with big hands and before I removed the bar it was near impossible to get to the switch. Anyone that has that bar, be sure to remove it before working on the switch.

Thank you so much for this video you literally saved me a lot of frustration, time and money. My 2014 SS had the lovely alert of low oil pressure and to shut off engine BUT no engine light or codes present. Dealership replaced oil pump 6 months ago when I first purchased the car. Thought it failed again and for some reason my "double full coverage warranty's" wouldn't cover towing over 15-20 miles despite the dealership telling me it would, so I was going to have to pay even more to get it there or rent a trailer hitch myself. Had my SS towed home and it sat for 2 weeks, it was weird that the car sounded normal when the engine was running which made me think a computer glitch possibly & that's when I finally came across your video. Turned the car on and let it run for a little and warning went off, car is running completely normal with zero warnings! I can't thank you enough bc now I know it's just a bad oil pump sensor

Life saver! Same exact thing happened to my 2013 SS Friday night. It was pulling code P0523. Your video just saved me some time and money. Just swapped the sensor and the gauge kicked back in. Drove up to autozone to clear the code and it cleared itself as I was pulling in their parking lot lol. I would've been pissed if I took this to the dealership and I found out this was all they did and charged me $300+ dollars.
