Hi all, just an update on my Caravan 3.3  The oil pressure light and
chime would come on intermittantly and sometimes for 30 sec or 20
minutes and so forth. Sometimes not for a day or two.  The Dodge
dealer here has been great.  They had it twice, checked the pressure
and that ok while the light was on and also even removed my sender and
installed a dodge sender with no luck and then put my sender back in.
They did not charge for any of this.  They talked with Dodge central
and had it back again to check a couple of other thnigs with no luck.
This all while it may or may not show symptoms.  We then decided to
order a new BCM and that went in. All ok for a few days, but then
again a chime for a minute or two then ok. Yesterday they programmed
it again and hope it stays this time?  Oh, and they also did an open
recall on my clockspring too.  Leaving for Colorado tomorrow so will
let you know if the problem is indeed fixed  Thanks for the advice
before,  Jerry

Jerry if the BCM didn't fix it when they put it in, there is no programming
that will fix it. If you have a contaminated oil sending unit wire connector
it will cause this. If the lite comes on again, remove the connector and
pull out the rubber seal, clean the connector good and leave the seal out.

Thanks Glenn,  If the light comes on again I will try that.  Does this
also apply if the sender is not connected at all?. Would the
contaminated connector still cause a fault if not connected?  I did
disconnect the sender a while back and the light still came on.
Thanks,  Jerry

NOPE. if the sensor is disconnected and the lite still comes on you probably
have a problem with the instrument cluster circuit board
