Help Please: Oil Pressure Gauge Not Working
I installed my motor and the oil pressure gauge is not working. Its b/c i dont have one of the two wires hooked up. I have the wire that goes to the unit hooked up, can anyone tell me where the other one goes???

The OEM oil pressure sender only has one wire going to it- it grounds through its threads on the side housing.
So, make sure your engine grounds (bonding jumper at the tranny-firewall) are good, and make sure your sender threads are nice & clean (no teflon tape wrapped around them)...
On S4 cars, the sender wire is yellow/red...
Also make sure the capacitor (bolts to the clutch slave cylinder for its ground) wiring is not shorting to ground...

i dont have a capacitor, i had everything rebuilt and they forgot to put it back on the transmission. My oil gauge worked before so i dont think it is bad.
