ON MY 1997 900S SAAB NON TURBO 4 CYL MY OIL LIGHT AND EXPLANATION POINT IS ON IN THE DASH BUT HAS GOOD OIL PRESSURE. SO I AM GUESSING THE OIL PRESSURE SENDING UNIT IS BAD. PROBLEM IS I DON'T EXACTLY KNOW WHERE IT IS OR HOW TO CHANGE IT OR IF THAT'S THE PROBLEM SO IF ANYONE COULD HELP ME THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

Changing it is easy, it's shaped like a bolt with one lead coming off of it (second lead is actually the engine itself). Now I with I had a picture of where it is... I just don't remember.

Can you wait till tomorrow? My hood is frozen shut right now

Never mind, the hood opened. The sender is in the back of the block right around the dead middle. Pretty awkward position given that the fill tube is right there. Too dark for a picture though.
