The Gauge Guru probably knows

Post by **Duvel78** » 29 Dec 2004 12:02 pm

The extra gauges panel for my GLT is now complete (brand new oil temp and oil pressure gauges & senders

) but I don't have the instructions for the oil pressure gauge.

Where goes the sender for the oil pressure? Is there a specific tightening?

I'm also lost for the connection, I have no idea how 3 wires are connected... (a short black wire + 1 green and 1 brown wire, shorter and cut) Can anyone help me? (James?

)

EDIT:

there was a topic about that oil sender and James posted a very nice picture, so it's ok for the gauge location. But it's not OK for the wires...

are you sure that was brand new?

personally, i'd just attatch it to ground or the ignition rail and see what happens. probably ignition

200% sure brand new, still in the Volvo boxes, never opened and used.

Ok for the ground but then, the green and brown wire?

leave them unplugged. they dont attatch to anything!

Those three wires are for the signal, ground, and switched (ignition) 12v. On my gauge kits, they came in multi-pin plugs, so there was no guessing. I'll check the order for you tomorrow!

cheers
