Is this the oil pressure switch ('06 4.4i)

[Bouchedag84]

I have searched the internet high and low and cannot find an actual picture of the oil pressure switch in vehicle for a 4.4i.

Is this it?
The picture is looking to the passenger side of the vehicle (right) with the air intake box removed.

Ah I don't think so. Did you refer to the Bentley manual as a start? You have the N62 engine. Its probably near the oil filter/housing

Looks like that may be an ac pressure switch

Yeah that would be one switch that you dont want to pull and find out the hard way that you were wrong in doing so. I have not been around close to the underneath of the N62 engine but I would imagine that the pressure switch is on the engine since the oil filter is not located in a remote reservoir like the M62 engine.

Haha, good ol' case of fingers faster than the brain.

Well if anyone can find or take a picture of where this elusive little oil pressure switch is, that would be great. The realoem diagram is useless

The oil pressure switch on the N62 stems off the chain tensioner on the Bank 1 Cylinder head. If you do an image search for the Bank 1 Cylinder head you will have a better idea of where the switch is located.
