99 Caravan - oil pressure light

Oil pressure light and chime come on under 30MPH when accelerator is
released. Goes off once accelerator is depressed. Oil level is
correct. 131,000 miles on 4-cylinder engine.
Were is the oil pump, and how is it driven?
Thanks.

Doug, replace the oil pressure sending switch and clean out the connector if
it is contaminated with oil and more then likely that will take care of your
problem. That is of course if you have properly maintained the oil changes
and didn't neglect the vehicle.

Is this accessible with just ramps from underneath? I couldn't find it

from the top. Chilton's says it's on the firewall side of the 2.4L.
I can't vouch for the previous owner, but for the year that I've had
it, Jiffy Lube every 3kmiles. It is due now. It needs a tranny flush
too.

It may be a little tricky on ramps, I havent been under a vehicle on ramps
in over 25 years. The labor to do this should be about .5 labor at a local
garage.
