yes. its actually a sending unit (variable voltage), not a switch (on/off).

I'm pretty sure the OP fixed his problem in the 10 months since this thread was started.

Default Clip on Oil sending Unit

Sad question, how do I remove the clip on the oil sending unit without snapping it. I tried using a reg screw driver to pry it but I did not want it to break. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

It should just pull right out...... should....... Contacts may have corroded themselves together.... Look forward to replacing the sending unit.

Grab the connector with a pair of needle nose, or, whatever other pliers you happen to have handy, and PULL. It WILL come out......
