The problem that im having is with the gauge. I know the one next to the oil filter is for the gauge because if I ground that wire on the unit the gauge will go to zero. I do believe that ive been given the wrong unit. I dont know how the supplier could have confused this if I said the symptom was the needle was always stuck on 80. The dummy light of course having a boolean, non numerical value. It just kinda took me back that something like this could have happened. The day at the auto shop left me really annoyed So Is there a different nomenclature or part number I should specify to the vendor? Ill be speaking with them tommorrow. thanx jordan 11613 --- Dave Swingle <swingle@xxxx> wrote: > There are two oil pressure sending units.
