    Help me with my oil pressure gauge/sender

    I am wiring up all of my gauges right now, and I am stuck on the oil pressure gauge/sender. I have the sender in line with the turbo oil feed


    Here is the back of the oil pressure sender



    Here is the back of the gauge



    What wires go to what?

    There is an S, and a + on the back of the gauge. I'm thinking S is for signal? Is there only one wire that comes off of the back of the sender?

    Any input is much appreciated! Thanks guys

    we need to know what type of gauge and sender you have first.

        + Is for switched power, nothing terminal is ground and S is for sender signal. Your gauges should have came with a wiring diagram. It is absolutely essential that the sender is grounded properly to give an accurate reading.

          Pretty sure I have the sensor grounded nicely. I didnt use any teflon tape/sealer, so it's all metal to metal.

          I didnt get a wiring diagram so any help is great.

          Thanks!

            What he said. TO clarify, he mentioned the "nothing" terminal being ground- this is the terminal at the top of your pic that's horizontal- need to run a ground wire to this for sure.


            Also, you didn't really ask, and no one mentioned it, but the 2 terminals at the bottom of the gauge on that black plastic housing are for the gauge light. Doesn't matter which one is "+" and which is "-", but they need to have power if you want the gauge to light up- or you can tap into the dash/instrument light circuit to have the gauge on only when your headlights are on.
