I am not sure about the location of the oil pressure switch on your
engine, but it is a green fitting adjacent to the oil filter on the 3.2L
engine. There is probably a place to press the connector to remove it.
Here is the TSB you are referring to; consult the factory service manual
for more information with graphics.
