    I have had this ute since new and all of a sudden it has developed electrical problems I'm guessing. First the oil pressure gauge stopped working and then occassionaly I get an oil pressure warning for a few seconds which goes away and today driving the a/c fan made some grinding noises and stopped. Does anybody have any experience with removing the vent fan as I suspect it has a stick or something stuck in it. x8ross

    I'd check the engine oil level first to see if it is running low.

    Oil pressure sensors failing is common but it could also be an oil pump on its way out resulting in low oil pressure. Do you get SERVICE VEHICLE SOON warnings?

    the ac blower is easy to check... pull down the passenger side kick panel above the feet, only clipped on, right above there is the fan, there are 3 phillips head screws and one power connector, whole assembly is about 25cm in diameter you need to remove, will drop right out.
