I am finishing my 2.0L six install. I was checking to make sure the wiring was OK.
When I checked the oil pressure the green light did not go on and the gauge pegged to the high side of the gauge. I have the dual sensor. When I removed the wires from the sender the gauge went to zero. I touched one of the wires to the sender case and the green light went on. The gauge I know is OK since I have not had any problems with it before and it is new. Is this a sender problem?? |

I just hooked mine up, maybe you have the gauge pole and the warning light pole swapped at the sender.

I think you have the wires for the light and gauge reversed. Try swapping them and see what happens. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I did that and same problem. The gauge pegged out and no light.
The only time the light went on was when I touched the wire to the housing of the sender not the post. |

did you use teflon tape or sealant on the sender thread? it gets its ground from the thread so remove if you used some.
that's all I got... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

does the sender match your gauge?
can you please give me the numbers of the dual sender and gauge. i have a 904 style gauge, and i want the dual sender so i can use the gauge and the idiot light. btw, what year is your engine? sorry, not much help. when you figure it out, please let us know. |
