I have a 2003 sporttrac with 185000. Recently the oil gauge has been indicating strange. Normally the gauge needle is in the middle. I know this is not a true reading pressure gauge but just an on off light in the true sense. Recently when I start the engine the needle would be about 1/4 of the way up. Now it is just above the low reading mark. The gauge does not move from here with the engine off or on, although it does twitch slightly when the engine is started. All the other needles for the gauges move to the bottom of the gauge with the truck off(except the fuel) but the oil stays just above the low mark. I've changed the oil using what I always use and changed out the pressure sensor on the block. Anyone seen this before or have an idea? The engine runs and sound fine, no rattles.
