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! |

On same topic.
I have the dual sender. My console gauge reads 0-70 PSI seems to work fine. My dash light does not operate like it should. Wiring is good, it lights when I ground the wire connected to the sending unit. When I check resistance at sender with engine off its 15-16 ohms, engine on it's open. Question, is that too much resistance to turn on the light? If bad which type of sender should I replace it with? I've seen some 0-150 PSI but my gauge only goes to 70 PSI. Thanks |
