Put the Taurus in to Browns Wednesday night so they could tell me why the oil light is on steady all the time. Diagnosis: bad switch. They want $110 total to repair.
I take the Taurus back, pay $37.50 for diagnosis then $7.95 at Fochman's for a switch and spent Thursday evening swapping it out. While I had the switch out, rolled the engine over and saw the pump eject oil out the hole, so it is doing some kind of work.
As it is not an actual Ford part, the wire connection is incorrect, so a pair of snippers and an eyelet fix that issue.
Start it, and the oil light is no longer lit!
Now, what to think about it sounding like a sewing machine for the last 20 miles or so?!?!

You should've told them they can keep it...
