Hello Jim,

I can't say for sure, it's been done by a good master in a service. The only thing i remember he's said that it's only one wire sensor and the hole in the sensor's housing is safe. Probably he has even removed some rubber ring surrounding the wire.

What the heck?

Someone please tell me that there is more to this part than about 12 cents of junk drawer filler that they're charging a ridiculous amount for. I didn't buy it. I'm going to make my own and try it out. I'll let you know what the results are.

I agree this TSB and the related P/N 05017800AA looks suspicious. My daughter's 2004 Sebring had this blinking oil light problem at idle, then after a year it started coming on even at 2000 rpm so we stopped driving immediately. I bought this part. If you follow the directions in this post exactly as written, you end up with two wires coming out of the connector and there is only one male tab on the sensor. So you end up with the original wire connected to the original sensor tab - how the Hell does that fix anything??????

I have it all a apart right now - I'd like more clarification before I put this all back together. Thanks for any help

I realize this is an old post, but I'm having this problem right now.
