Standard Ignition PS-132 Engine Oil Pressure Switch

Engine Oil Pressure Switch Overview

Standard Ignition PS-132 is an engine oil pressure switch built for accurate pressure signal reading and dependable electrical switching in the engine oiling system. It uses a female connector, male terminals, and a 3-terminal design for applications that require both gauge and warning-light functions.

Compatible With select Chrysler, Dodge, Plymouth, and Volkswagen applications, including 1987-1988 Dodge Daytona, 1987 Plymouth Voyager, and 1980 Volkswagen Vanagon. The PS-132 is also cross-referenced to Dorman - HELP 57112 for the same application.

Key Features

• Engine oil pressure switch with 3 terminals
• Female connector and male terminals for the specified OE-style connection
• High-temperature polyimide film diaphragm construction
• Built to handle rapid pressure pulsations without component damage
• Laser-etched calibration process for accurate oil pressure reading
• 100% tested for activation, leak checking, and specification compliance

Detailed Description

Standard Ignition PS-132 is engineered for vehicles that use an oil pressure switch to operate a gauge, warning light, or both. The calibrated internal circuit and durable diaphragm materials are selected to maintain consistent switching performance under demanding engine conditions. This makes it a practical replacement for older Chrysler, Dodge, Plymouth, and Volkswagen platforms where oil pressure signal accuracy matters.

Vehicle-specific fitment includes 1988 Dodge Dakota, 1987-1988 Dodge Daytona, 1987 Dodge Charger, 1987 Plymouth Voyager, 1985-1986 Chrysler Daytona, 1985-1986 Chrysler Laser, 1981-1985 Dodge Aries, 1982-1984 Chrysler LeBaron, 1984 Dodge 600, 1982-1984 Dodge Rampage, 1981-1984 Plymouth Reliant, 1983 Chrysler New Yorker, 1982-1983 Chrysler Town & Country, 1983 Dodge 600, 1983 Plymouth Turismo, 1980-1982 Plymouth TC3, and 1980 Volkswagen Vanagon.

This part number, PS-132, is a direct-fit style replacement for applications that call for a 3-terminal oil pressure switch with indicator light or gauge/light operation.

Common Uses

• Oil pressure warning light stays on or behaves inconsistently
• Oil pressure gauge signal is intermittent or inaccurate
• Original switch leaks oil at the sensor body
• Electrical connection at the switch is worn, loose, or damaged
• Replacement needed for aging OE-style oil pressure switch service

Installation Notes

Verify connector style, terminal count, and engine application before installation. Match the female connector and 3-terminal layout to the original part, and inspect the harness terminals for corrosion or looseness before connecting the new switch. Confirm proper sealing at the engine port and check for leaks after startup.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition manufactures this switch with laser-etched calibration, high-temperature diaphragm materials, and automated end-of-line testing. Each unit is checked for activation, leakage, and stress tolerance to help ensure specification compliance in service.
