The oil pressure sender is located on the passenger side of the 2.7 engine just above the motor mount. Get to it from below. It has a single wire connector going to it.
The spec for the light to turn on is is 4 psi, idle oil pressure spec is >5 psi. Not much difference. After your done, search Google for all the horror stories about oil pressure problems with the 2.7 liter Chrysler engine. !
