Unhappy Oil Pressure swicth question?

Ok,I took a look at the swicth today and there's no cables going to it....at all. is just there. Does anyone have a pic or know what's suppose to go to the swicth?. Is it a plug?. Or cables?. I see nothing around it.....weird.

are you talking about the oil LEVEL switch on the oil pan, or the oil PRESSURE sensor on the rear housing?

the swicth on the rear housing. Under the oil filter, above the heater hose.

Which btw, has anyone ever capped the heater hose....I don't have use for the heater down here.

that's the pressure sensor- do you have an aftermarket gage? there's usually a single wire connector that comes from a small harness from the left side of the engine bay...if you still got it, it should be hanging down there somewhere...so you're not reading oil pressure on the instrument cluster?

The oil pressure sending unit wire is yellow and the connector is unlike any connector on the car. The connect slides onto the sensor at a 90 degree. You can bypass the heatercore by capping off the two lines leading to it.

I'm not sure if you'll create problems by blocking off that heater circuit or not...do you have first hand experience doing that, rx7will?

Yellow wire with a red stripe, not plain yellow.

Capping the heater connections is fine.

How is the heater going to affect oil consumption?
