I have a 2056 with a VDO oil pressure sending unit coming off the top of the engine, one end has the oil pressure the other the temp, it worked before removing it from original engine now it doesnt?
I hooked black and green wire to it, but getting no reading at all, do the sending units fail? |

Since you have a T installed one side of the T goes to a pressure switch (normally
has a male connector on it) this is where the red/green wire goes. the oil pressure unit normally has a screw on terminal connection this is connected to the oil pressure gauge. This wire is normally run seperate as the harness is not equipped for it. The oil tempature gauge is on the bottom of the engine and has a green/black wire to it this wire has a extension on it to reach the sending unit, this wire runs to a connector in the floor which the console is wired to. PS You can check the oil light out by turning on the key and grounding the red/green wire this should turn on the oil light. |
