    Default Oil pressure sensor 8v wiring.

    On the sensor theres two terminals.Which wire goes to each terminal?
    I have a blue wire with green trace and blue wire with yellow trace.
    the sensor has a spade terminal and a ring terminal.
    Help please.

    On my OE XE one, low pressure light is the single pin plug and the pressure gauge was a push on circular sort of terminal.

    I think I'd put money on the spade being the light on yours, pics?

    Multimeter test. The light will earth via the wire when there's oil pressure (I.e. 0 continuity between engine and pin when running, 1 when not)

    I have a 1985 1.3 SR engine and the terminals on the switch are a small pin and the other one is a weird plastic connector. The weird plastic connector terminal is the warning light and has a blue wire with a green trace. The pin terminal takes a blue wire with yellow trace and this goes to the gauge. It sounds like your terminals are different to mine,but I hope this info is some help to you.
