Oil pressure sender unit wiring plug broken

**Milton477** · 13th June 2011, 06:45 PM

The plug which connects to my oil pressure sender unit has lost one of its wires right at the plug. Any one know what the fix is or where I can get the parts.

There should be only one wire.
The plug should be just a crimp blade connector which you can buy anywhere and replace yourself.
Unless you have some exotic or modern car which you aren't telling us about.

The Td5 has 2 wires, ONLY 1 is connected, the black one from memory disappears back into the loom and is just lying there about 400mm in. The OP sender switch has only 1 terminal in it, but the plug has 2 wires in it. Don't ask me why

Best thing to do is unplug the plug and see which one connects to the pin inside the sender. The plug, boot and terminals can be bought from any shop that supplies EFI injector wiring plug kits as it is just a standard 2 pin injector plug.

Thanks Philip, no exotics here but it has got 2 wires into a moulded plug which clips onto the sender. Just would like to fix it "properly". Silly place for a sender right behind the turbo.

Thanks Rory
