_Spin_ Donating Members 695 Member For: 17y 3m 26d Posted 22/05/09 11:31 PM Share Posted 22/05/09 11:31 PM Brought F6 Typhoon home from panel shop while I wait for more parts to arrive. Oil Pressure guage is not working. Now, when you turn the key the needle moves just slightly but doesn`t react at all when the eingine is running.I get under the car for a look and what I presume is the sender ( big arse sender on the block under the intake manifold ) has one white with red stripe wire attached and a vacant male end beside it. I thought it might be a missing earth or summin but I had no joy when I put a wire to it tried earthing it. I can find no unconnected wires under there.The Panel shop would have fiddiling around near by during repairs and the guage was working fine 11 weeks ago when it went on the the tilt bed to the repairer.Clues anyone?

Mine has the std loom wire which would be for the std light. FPV run a new wire which is in a corrugated tube and it is black with a blue stripe Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/57894-oil-pressure-sender-help-f6/#findComment-880246 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sender as I see it has one wire attached but another male post beside where that one wire connects is vacant..Needle moves when key is switched to on, but does not respond when the engine is running.It`s a bitch to get and and see..

_Spin_ Donating Members 695 Member For: 17y 3m 26d Posted 23/05/09 09:10 PM Share Posted 23/05/09 09:10 PM lol, I bought a fancy LED torch from Autobarn the other day, arseloads of LEDs in it. Every time I REALLY needed to shine so I could see wtf from under the car it`d go on the blink.After 20 mins I had a psychotic episode and full tossed it into the lattice work. My step son collected the pieces and reassembled it and it works like a bomb now. I gotta bud coming round this morning to gimme a hand with the front bar, I`ll see if we can sort the oil pressure guage then.
