Changed plugs, now...

I changed my spark plugs and now my oil pressure gauge doesn't work. I guess I must have hit the wire or something. Can anyone tell me where the wires for the sensor are? Thanks alot. Oh and pics would help.

There's a big brass looking this right under and slightly forward of the oil filter.&nbsp Make sure there's a wire connected to the "top" of it.

Would this have anything to do with the oil buzzer? Would like to know if its not working as well. Thanks.

Oil buzzer...pull the plug off the bottom of the oil pan on the driver's side.&nbsp Jump the two pins, and the buzzer should go off.&nbsp Now, this just checks the wiring to see if it's working - this does NOT check the sensor itself.&nbsp Next oil change, drain the oil and turn the key to the ON position WITHOUT CRANKING THE CAR OVER - the buzzer should trigger if the sensor is good.

If you really wanna be sure, pull the sensor out of the pan when you drain your oil and test it as per the FSM.
