Low Oil pressure

[FordTechOne]

Checked the connections up to the main harness and did not find any loose, unplugged or broken connections. Checked the wiring and didnt see any broken wires.

Hard to tell from the photo, but was there oil contamination in the connector to the oil pump? If so the connector may have failed, which can cause the same symptom.

You sure thats the oil pressure sensor? What Ive been reading the oil pressure sensor is behind the alternator. This looks more like the rpm sensor.

Didnt see any oil in the plug. Is the oil pump electric?

No, the solenoid that’s controls the pressure is the electric part.

Check the oil sump uptake in the oil pan too.

10-4. Worked on heavy equipment most my life so that’s a new one for me. Thanks for the help!

Just got the truck back from the dealership. Tech notes read there were two wires shorted together. Not sure I would've found that so as much as I complain about it I wouldn't have found it as quick as they did. Gonna drive it for the next couple days to make sure it holds together but thanks to everyone who offered guidance on here!
