I really have not heard the term oil pump switch. There is an oil pressure switch on some small engines that will shut the engine down if the oil pressure falls below a preset pressure. These are not installed on vehicles for safety reasons. You vehicle however has an oil pressure sending unit that keeps track of the oil pressure and will warn you of low oil pressure with a red light, or by way of a gage, or both.

Is it hard to replace a fuel pump oil filter switch?

You are referring to two separate things. The fuel pump has a relay and not a switch. The oil filter does not have a switch but the oil pressure has a sending unit that sends a pressure reading to the gauge. Some cars have an oil pressure switch that incorporates a circuit to shut the engine down in case it were to loose oil pressure.

no, however the fuel pump has a secondary route through the oil pressure switch.If the fuel pump relay goes out the pump will run through the oil pressure switch after the engine gets oil pressure. this results in extended engine cranking time before the engine will start


Where is the fuel pump reset button on 1996 Chevy s-10?

There isn't one. The fuel pump receives its power from the fuel pump relay or the oil pressure switch (they are connected in parallel so that power can be provided from either source). The oil pressure switch provides power to the pump when the oil pressure reaches 4 PSI. The Fuel Pump relay supplies power to the pump when it receives a signal from the ignition switch. They are no other switches or interupts in the circuit
