Pulled the connector on the oil pressure sensor and, sure enough, it is oil wet so the sensor is leaking. This may also help explain the minor oil leak I have been trying to track down.

BBrianF replied to the thread What are you doing today? [Part II].Yeah, this Ram is a pain. I remember similar but not as severe when working on my 2011 Ram 1500. We do get heavy potash on the roads in the winter but we just don't have the humidity like you...
