Good morning - hope everyone is going well.
I have an oil pressure gauge that looks like this one (not my car in picture but same sender), 1) I believe one terminal is for the actual pressure reading and one if for the warning light? 2) If that ^^^^ is correct does it matter which terminal is which? in other words is one terminal specific for the actual pressure reading? Thanks! ![]() |

Yes, it matters.
One pole acts as a ground until oil pressure takes it away. The other provides the variable signal to the gauge. What are the labels on the poles ? In mine the G pole is for the gauge. Green wire. WK (green/red trace) for the lamp |
