oil pressure jumps norm to low and bounces around a bit

Sounds as though the oil pressure sending unit is giving up the ghost. It should be located near the oil filter, threaded into the boss that the oil filter housing is on. Check when you inspect that area for any bare or grounded wires, but I would suspect the sending unit itself is bad. Replacement is inexpensive, usually $10-30 for the part.

I had that problem in my 2000 ford ranger, mine was due to being low on oil, you should check your oil and make sure it has enough. hope this helps

could be oil sending unit ,but i have found factory guages are not that reliable if full of oil forget it.

well have change the oil pressure switch, still keeps bouncing around and the engine seems to be running rough. i am just hoping that it is not the oil pump. this in in a 1996 ford explorer sport 4x4 v6 4.0

Check the hex shaft that turns the oil pump from cam shaft, they have a tendency to round off and keep the pump from turning, you can get the shaft at an auto parts store for around $23.00.

First check your oil level then start to check wiring to pump then check pump.

I have a 2005 for explorer and there is a clicking noise coming from the front of the engine also the oil pressure keeps going from norm to low can someone tell me what that sounds like

What does it mean when my oil pressure with from normal to low. It says low oil pressure then my car shuts off. It won't turn over. I check the oil it says it good
