Detailed Product Overview

PS-244 is engineered to monitor engine oil pressure and send the signal required by the vehicle’s gauge system. Standard Ignition uses a laser etching process to calibrate the printed circuit for accurate pressure reading, while the polyimide diaphragm helps resist rupture and oil leakage under demanding operating conditions. This makes PS-244 a practical replacement for Chrysler Prowler, Plymouth Prowler, and other gauge-equipped Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth models listed in the fitment data. This part cross-references Standard Ignition PS171 for the same application.

Common Symptoms This Part Can Address

• Oil pressure gauge reading incorrectly or intermittently
• Gauge needle dropping out during engine operation
• Oil pressure warning behavior caused by a failed switch signal
• Oil seepage at the switch body
• Electrical connection issues at the oil pressure sender circuit

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle is equipped with an oil pressure gauge before ordering. Confirm the connector style, terminal count, and engine application against the original part before installation. Inspect the harness connector for corrosion or looseness, and check for oil contamination at the terminal area when servicing the switch.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition tests each unit with automated equipment that checks switch activation, leak integrity, and specification compliance. The design and materials are selected to meet the demands of professional engine service.
