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? |

so I think I have the oil temp wire hooked up to the oil pressure light cennection (Male connection on T opposite oil pressure guage sending unit) I need to connect correct wire to sending unit, but then the green black wire which does have the extra wire extension on it and comes out of the firewall behind battery - where does that connect? Where is oil temp sending unit?

Where is oil temp sending unit? The oil temp sending unit is on the bottom of the engine on the drivers side. It's mounted in a large round plate (Taco plate) with a metal cover over the sending unit with a openning it it to connect the green/black wire. |
