for How you can install the oil sending switch?" I take it that we are talking about an oil pressure switch wich located near the oil filter?
The right way to do this with a special socket or boxwrench, sometimes they are easy to reach and sometimes they put up a fight. Make sure you have the right sender remove the old one, install some plumbers tape on the thread, finger start the sender and tighten it, (not too tight) start the engine and check for leaks
No, a sending unit is for a gauge, and the switch is for a warning light.
I am looking for the location of the oil sending switch on a 2000 F150, or where I can see a diagram or picture of it. Thank You
You need to remove the oil sending unit and install a oil pressure gage in it's place then start engine and read gage. Iwould tell you were the sending unit is but you did not say what you are working on.

Remove the oil sending unit and install a mechanical gauge. Start the engine cold and let it warm up to normal operating temperature. It the oil pressure is correct then replace the oil pressure switch.
I believe they are the same. I just purchased one and they referred to it as a switch when I called it a unit.
This is a pressure sensitive switch that controls the oil pressure indicator (light or gauge) on the dash board in the vehicle
It developed an leak and then for whatever reason sealed itself. Replace the oil pressure sending unit.
monitor and read oil pressure. sending that info to the gage cluster.
behind the oil filter

You will have to remove the factory oil sending unit and install it there.
The Oil Pressure Switch or Oil Sending Unit (which ever you prefur calling it) on 2.5L its located about underneith the Thermostat Housing.
