On the block, in the area between the alternator and the oil filter.  Can be difficult to manage with one person due to location, but not impossible.

Thank you, found it. I took the oil filter off to get better access and after trying various combinations of extensions and universals I ended up using a 3" extension, turning it with a small vice grip. I soaked the switch in penetrating oil for a few minutes first. It's a very tight space with room for only 1 hand and took some work to remove and install the switch, but all is good now. I don't know how any more than 1 person could work on this.

Every now and the the low oil pressure warning comes on when I come to a stop. Oil is at max  and no crazy sounds come from the engine. I'd like to replace the sensor, but I can't locate it on the engine. Can anyone help me out? Thanks

Made sense to do that if it was constantly upside down

There is only one way to mount the camera, so that would not work.

If all else fails, just install your current one upside down?

Your joking....I hope!! I have installed a new camera and the image is properly oriented, but I do not have guidelines and the zoom feature does not work.

I had lost the guidelines with the update in the summer of 2015 and then my camera would intermittently fail. A couple of months ago the image went upside down. I took it to the dealer to have the APIM replaced, pursuant to a TSB, and they said the APIM was fine so they would not replace it, and the issue with the upside down camera was the camera itself. Quoted me $458 to replace the camera! I purchased an OEM camera for $128 and replaced it myself...took 15 minutes. While the image is now correct, I still do not have the guidelines. I have toggled the camera settings, and pulled and reset the CB, but still no guidelines.

Are the guidelines generated from the camera, APIM, or neither?

2011 Lincoln MKS owner. I know this thread is old, but I'm having the same problems. After the MFT upgrade in the summer of 2015, I lost the guide lines and proximity markings on the rear camera. About 3 months ago, I first got a blank screen with the contact dealer message. That would pop up every now and then. In the last month, the image has gone upside down. I saw that there was a TSB that extended the warranty on the APIM for 5 years on the MKX and 4 years on the Edge, so I took it to my dealer yesterday. After sitting there for 2 1/2 hours they told me that the APIM was fine and it is the camera that's bad. Quoted me $458 dollars to fix! I said no thanks. I took me less than 10 minutes to remove the liftgate panel, take out the 1 mounting screw and remove the camera. I unseated the wiring harness and reattached it to see if that would maybe help...it did not. I re-installed the camera and put the liftgate cover back and ordered a new camera from a dealer for $128.

I still have my doubts that this is a camera issue, as everything seems to point to a software issue inside the APIM, so I'll see what happens after I replace the camera.
