2002 Oil pressure switch/sensor replacement

[Trevithick]

Hi everyone, I'm new to this group. I bout qn 02 jeep liberty renegade, 3.7L almost a year ago...I got everything all places I looked at to get tools, have the deep socket for the oil pressure switch, tried to take it off while doing an oil change, the socket is too small for the one that is currently on the jeep. Can't figure out how to get it off.. the new one will fit perfectly into the socket.. I could use some help and guidance please!!

Welcome to the forums.
Would only recommend a Mopar oil pressure switch # 5149097AA
What size socket are you using? This video suggests its' a 27mm..

I bought both a 27mm deep socket, and the oil pressure switch socket that was designed to fit around the connector. I did finally get it off. Ended up going to a friend's house who had alot more tools, it required a 28mm deep socket. The new one fits perfectly in the one designed for the switches. The old one had the pointed ends on the nut, not rounded like the new switch. It solved alot of my issues. But still have to wait for new head gaskets to come in. Got oil in cylinder 6 spark plug hole.
