I have a 87 s10 with a 99 5 7 vortec engine harness.
3 wire oil pressure sensor wiring diagram.
Fuck me running.
It came with every other wire just not the 3 wire plug wiring for the oil pressure sensor.
You can use that for a relay trigger or for an electric choke or any other thing you want.
Three wire sensors are used in various applications from detecting parts to locating position of the actual machine.
The harness was cut when i got it.
You can also browse excerpts by subcategory.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
You can jump any of the three wires to keep the compressor in good condition.
The voltage signal is sent to the pcm and then to the cluster to the oil pressure gauge.
To wire an oil pressure gauge make sure to get a copy of the wiring diagram for the specific brand and model of the device the manual usually comes with the purchase but the manual can also be downloaded from the manufacturer s website.
The oil pressure sensor is in the bottom right corner of the diagram.
The oil pressure sensor remember a pressure sensor varies a voltage signal based on a fluid or gas pressure.
The connection sends 0 5 volts of pressure to the pcm fuse.
The oil pressure sensor is located on the top of the motor drivers side at the rear.
Anyways the 3 wires are orange tan and grey.
I need to know where the 3 wires go.
You should have 5 volts key on engine off.

I had mine set up to use that however i buggered up the plug above the oil filter and now i need a 3 wire because i only have one hole now.
Here s a wiring diagram for the oil pressure sensor in your truck.
The oil pressure sensor is from the 99 5 7 vortec the rest of the harness is finished.
According to expert maintenance tips it is essential to follow the previous readings in mind.
There is also a two wire oil pressure switch when it sees pressure it will complete a circuit.
Key on check the voltage of the grey wire.
You have to bypass 3 wire ac pressure switch from b1 to b4 to power up the compressor clutch.
Update spent awhile following the schematic and i had all the right power in all the right places but the gauge was not moving.
They can come in all different technologies such as inductive photoelectric and capacitive just to list a few although the sensor technology may differ all 3 wire sensors are wired the same a three wire sensor has 3 wires present.
If i member right the oil pressure.
After a lot of head scratching i noticed how easy the needle moved in one direction but not the other my eyes are not great on anything close up but with my bestist glasses i could just see the pin on the bimetallic strip had come out of the slot in the needle base.
