Help find this part cheaper

You could try fordpartsgiant.com.

I got an OEM belt tensioner for my 97 460 for like 50 bucks IIRC

If I remember correctly I did check there site and it said out of stock and discontinued.

I found out about this site from another Ford forum, they'll use it sometimes searching for obsolete parts. It shows two locations with that part available. Might given them a call and see if they actually have it.

Personally I'd be inclined to remove the warning light bulb. I don't need a sensor to tell me if I have oil or not, especially if it's something prone to breaking like that connector.



EDIT: FWIW, WPT-237 also seems to be a valid Motorcraft part number for this connector, but no one is showing that in stock either.

I sent a message to one of the ones listed at this site you suggested and am waiting on a response for them. Dang this thing is hard to find at a reasonable cost. I just may have to end up paying the absurd price.

I guess this is the downfall to a 30 year old truck. Because there were so many 3.0L made I would of figured that many of the parts would still out there, which many are but I seem to be finding one that is becoming unobtanium.

If you can’t find one . I can go out and drain the oil out of one and remove the sensor and take the plug off . That is the best way to get it off . The clip is a pain in the !!! To get off in the vehicle .
