I searched and think I found my answer but just want to make sure

In my 05 Frontier my oil pressure gauge pegged out high after I locked my keys in truck with ignition on but motor not running and before this incident it was working fine so is my oil pressure sender shot? I dont want the dummy gauge I liked mine that has a better moving reading

got mine repaired today, mine now works again and doesnt look like the dummy one. my guage dropps down the about 1/4 when the truck warms up an at idle. before that its about at half, and pressing gas brings it up a bit.
I recently replaced mine at 91K miles (05 KC NISMO)
so is this a yes I need to get a new sending unit?
I just replaced mine. It is called a OIL PRESSURE SENSOR by Nissan. It costs like $60 and takes ten mins to replace. My gauge works like before now.
where exactly is the sensor located on the motor?
Anyone with a newer truck ever replace this sensor with the 05 unit to see if it makes the gage work right?
Are there different part numbers for a sendor for an '05 vs an 06+?
So nobody can tell me where on the motor the sensor is?
i picked up the sensor finally off back order so where is it located at on the motor?
