my stupid oil light keeps coming on with the anouning buzzy. i know i have oil in the car i jsut checked it. so it sensor must be bad or something. i was changing the ratator fluid and spiled water all over the engine bay could have shorted something out. When the light comes on it flickers it is not consistant, also it happens more so if it is a big bump. one more thiing where is the secor located so i can check to see if it is bad? thanks

sure that it is not the coolant level as the buzzer will go off if you are low on coolant or have bubbles in the system as well.

My buzzer did that a lot way back. It turns out it was my oil level sensor was dangling together by a thread and some grease :O: I cleaned it up and reconnected it. Problem solved.

^ it is on the driver's side somewhere. Just find the oil level sensor and it should be the wires that come out of it. Just follow them along untile you reach the connecter that goes into the harness.

thats my prob. i don't know where the oil level sensor is.

The oil level sensor is on the side of the oil pan on the driver's side of the vehicle.  If you peer down from the driver's side shock tower down at the engine mount, you should side the wire - it's the only on there, unless you have the stupid sub-zero start assist crap which should've been pulled in the first place.

If you look from under the car, it's the sensor close to the oil drain bolt.
