Oil Pressure Sender Wiring

[Evan G]

stupid instruction manual doesnt show shit!

 

anyways, everything is done except thers 2 ouputs on the oil pressure sender. one is W and the other is G

 

witch wire do i attach to the gauge?

 

my guess is G is ground? and other is ouput?

 

cheeersss

cheers trev, so whats W then? Wank factor?

Maybe G = Gauge, W = Warning light. Check the resistance between the two wires and earth with the engine off and then when it's running; the W one might go straight to earth e.g. for the warning light and the G one will be variable resistance..........MAYBE

nah the warning light is on when theres less than 10psi of oil pressure or when i short it to ground and shows 0

[jono1986]

Ah... i thought maybe the sender would have had an inbuilt W/L output for older type dashboards

Switched feed like a light but if it does not work try hooking the earth to the W terminal, I installed some MARS performance gauges into a customers car and I only had to hook up to the G.

ill put it to signal wire to W and swap em over when I'm running in my cam, in the meantime i got the stock sender on the T peice to make sure i got oil pressure
