Location of Oil Pressure Switch/Sensor?
My car: 1997 Lexus ES300
My engine oil light has been turning on and off while driving. I checked my oil level and it reads full. Had my oil changed a little over 1k miles ago. Car runs just as nicely as it did before the light started turning on. I did a little bit of research and narrowed it down to either the oil pressure switch being faulty or the pump. The switch fix is fairly inexpensive so hopefully that's it.
The only problem is that I can't seem to locate under my hood. I've googled a ton and it's located in very random places in different cars. Some require removal of other parts to reach, some are just out in the open.
If anyone is able to locate the switch or the general location of the switch in either of these images, I would really appreciate it!

It's at the front of the engine above the harmonic balancer. Fairly difficult to R&R if you don't remove the balancer but possible.
