Now my oil level sensor works OK, no bips!

GLAD to hear! Sometimes, it is the simplest things that work. Like I said in post 19! I do not guarantee this is the reason all the sensors stop working BUT if it works afterwards it saves a lot of time, saves a messy cleanup, and saves a few bucks on parts and lack of use of the car. I know for a fact, ppl sometimes put WAY TOO MUCH OIL back in the engine so it figures to be bound to happen it gets stuck. In all my oil changes, I never add more than 8 US quarts, and that brings the level (on level ground) to right on the top FULL mark. I am going to put only 7 1/2 US quarts in this may (I do mine once a year due to low miles driven), just to see if it'll read that it needs oil (experiment). Again, ready glad to hear you got it 'unstuck'!
