Oil pressure sender

[rmmpe]

The lead came off my sender and when I went to look at it I found 2 leads that spread only 2 inches. There does not appear to be any other place close enough to connect the 2nd lead.

Regardless of which lead I place on the sender, the gage won't work. I've even replaced the gage, to no avail.

Can anyone tell me where the 2nd lead goes?
Or, am I chasing a phantom?

my oil pressure sender has 2 posts. one is for the guage and the other is for the warning light. when my guage stopped working i replaced the sender. hope this helps you?

Tommy,

That makes sense but my sender has only 1 place for connection.

Do you remember where you got your replacement sender, what the number is and what it cost?

[tom wilson]

got it at hendersons in grants pass, or. i have 1996 cummins 8.3L so it may use different sender. think it cost $50.? it was easy to replace, mh was under warranty so newmar refunded the money. do you have warning oil pressure guage and light? spartan mountainmaster chassis. 1996 kountrystar.

Tommy,

I don't believe I have an alarm but my Silverleaf VMsPC display has the alarm feature, which is on all the time the engine is running (I just can't tolerate a gage that doesn't work).

I'll try Henderson's.

Thanks.
