Freestar Oil Pressure Warning Light
Summary of the thread
A 2004 Ford Freestar is experiencing an oil pressure warning light issue, with additional warning indicators and an error stored in memory. The initial suspicion is a problem with the engine oil temperature sensor. A suggestion is made to check the sensor's cable and plug connection, as a faulty connection could cause incorrect readings. Ultimately, the issue is resolved by addressing the cable connection to the oil temperature sensor at a workshop.

Thanks! The light is mostly constant, but sometimes flickers a bit. Where exactly is that sensor located? I'm okay with checking the connections, but I don't want to mess with the wrong thing.

On mine, the sensor was a pain to get to, tucked away near the oil filter. Honestly, given the symptoms and the potential location hassle, I'd suggest taking it to a workshop. They can diagnose it properly and replace the sensor if needed. Could save you a lot of time and frustration.

You were right! Took it to the shop, and it was indeed the cable connection to the oil temperature sensor. Cost me 95€ to get it sorted. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

I had a similar problem with my Freestar. Is the warning light constant, or does it flicker? I would check the sensor's cable and plug connection first. A defective connection there can cause all sorts of weird readings. Is it possible that it is just a faulty sensor?
