2006 Ford Freestar Oil Pressure Switch Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service the Oil Pressure Switch on 2006 Ford Freestar?

  A: The first step for servicing the oil pressure switch should include cleanliness maintenance to avoid foreign material transmission into the oil and coolant system that may result in engine failure. Start by removing the generator first, then take out the accessory drive belt idler pulley and generator brace bolt, after which the bolt should be tightened to 47 Nm (35 ft. lbs.) for reinstallation. The installation of the A/C compressor mounting bracket brace requires you to torque its two bolts to 25 Nm (18 ft. lbs.). You must remove the combination of the A/C compressor mounting bracket brace and the two long bolts and the generator mounting bracket assembly as one unit because of insufficient engine-to-frame clearance. Then install them with tightness set at 47 Nm (35 ft. lbs.). First, unplug the oil pressure switch electrical connector, then remove the switch piece before installation, where the oil pressure switch requires a torque of 27 Nm (20 ft. lbs.). Finish the installation by carrying out the opposite order of removal steps.
