well you said it. Oil pressure switch or oil pressure sending unit.most cars have both.If it has one wire it is an oil pressure sending unit. if it has a plug with 2 or more wires it is an oil pressure switch and sends a signal to the onboard computer. remove the wire either a nut or usually a plug.some sending units take a special socket but if you can get a wrench on it turn it counter clock wise and unscrew it. when you get the new one it will have a red material on the threads, this is a sealant.thread the new switch snug and put you plug back on.

The auto transmission in your 1993 ford aerostar has lines to the radiator how do you replace them they appear to be leaking Some of it appears to be rubber hoses what is the dia of these lines?
These are HIGH pressure cooling lines; make sure you replace
them with the SAME quality lines or they will rupture and leave you
stranded. You often need a flare nut wrench set to remove them as
they can be very tight. If they are just barely seeping I would not
replace them ,but if in fact they are LEAKING then you need to
update them.
