    i know this might sound stupid but def check the wiring from the sensor on the oil pan all the way to the harness.mine was recently chewed through by mice i guess? also have had the neighbor complain of the same issue on his monte carlo...his were chewed about 15 inches away from the sensor.mine were chewed right at the sensor...go figure...must be tasty wire?

    zip tie some rat poison under your car. that will fix your wire eating critter problems.

    mice and rats can chew through almost anything. if a car sits long enough, they make a home out of it. air filter boxes are a favorite home lol

    my cars last owner was from newark NJ, there was rat poison zip tied all over the engine bay.

    Don't no how true, but I have heard that electrical wire insulation now has peanut oil in it.

    I have seen a car will teeth marks all over the underbody. owner believes it was porcupines eating the rustproofing that was applied to the car. they chewed everything rubber also, which left a big holes in the fuel filler neck. The owner had us zip tie tin foil to every rubber hose on the fuel tank and evap lines. Don't know if it worked.

    I've had the oil level sensor unplugged for years now and the light comes on maybe once every 10 times I drive it.
