my oil pressure gauge write up
my work place
the inside
the way I did the wireing with the help of Aaron cake is to find the black wire with white strip next to the steering colum and splice the constant 12 volt wire there.
then to get the light up 12 volt wireing agin with the help of Aaron (Im not vary good with electrical) was to use the cigirate lighter light wire that is used as the dimming wire for all of the lights on the dash. it is a red wire with a green strip. I went and cut the wire and used it there but it dose go around the dash closer to the A-piller but because this is my DD I chould not take apart the dash to try to get to the wire.
I then went and made a hole in the main body wireing grommet next to the clutch master cylinder
now onto the oil pressure sender. the oil filter mount is from a smashed subaru wrx
this was the hole the guy before me was useing my sender was not that big so I hade to go and find a plug.
this is what the finished product looks like out side the car I still needed to put teflon tape on the ends. when I went to go put it in the car I found out that there are two fuel lines next to the oil filter so I hade to put the plug in the mount and screw it on the old filter mount then try to screw in the sender with out striping out the threds in the filter mount and still make the mount as tight as posible with out it leaking.
this is it mounted in the final spot it's a tight fit but it dose not leak and it works.
I made the costant 12 volt wire green for easy finding and to not mix it up wth the grounds.
now on to the grounds I made them have a commin ground so to have less of a wireing problem. I used the bottom bolt/nut on the brake/clutch assembley.
the fuse I used is a 10 amp inline glass type.
then I just pulled all the wires up next to the dash and routed them through the dule gauge pod thanks to 13b4me.
then I connect them to my auto meter colbalt gauge (vary sweet).
works vary well and have no complants about any of it. and yes I know I have a dule gauge pod and only have 1 gauge and I dont know what Im going to put in there. I hope this helps any one with there gauge wireing and any questions.
