The pressure sender sensor is just above and behind the oil filter.

Ya, remove the sensor and put tester there. You should have around 40 or so.

Ahh, what is that thing laying on the axle? Got a tan end, looks like a red O ring. Kind of looks like half a oil pressure sensor, and the other half is still in the oil filter adapter.

Only 2 things plug in there, the speed sensor, and I can see that. And the oil pressure sensor. Nothing plugs in to the Axle. It spins.
