Help no oil pressure but motor runs fine

[Demon5spd]

Ok so i've used search and i haven't been able to find quite what i was looking for.

My problem is that my oil pressure guage reads zero all the time i know that there's oil pressure since if it was true the motor would be toast by now.

I looked under the car at the oil filter housing where the oil pressure sensor is and found that the wire to the connector was broke, and there was also another wire right next to it that looks like it goes to another sensor on the oil filter housing.

But the connector for it was gone so i fixed the broken wire and no luck still, i'm pretty sure that the one toward the back of the engine the longer of the two wire's go's to the oil pressure sensor but i'm not sure.

So my question is which sensor is the oil pressure sensor, there two sensors on the housing and the back one looks more like a oil pressure sensor, and since the logest wire is the only one that will reach it i'm assuming that i have it on the right sensor.

Does anyone know which one is the oil pressure sensor and also how to check if the sensor is faulty,i'll try to figure out how to hook up the broken wire to the other sensor when i get a chance.

It is the one at the tip of the oil filter housing...if I had a pick of it I would circle it for you but I dont. I should have a plug on the wire close to the housing, it is held on the housing by what looks like a bolt.

If i look underneath the car there's two sensors on the housing one is by the radiator and the other one is more towards the back i fixed the wire that went to it's still not working.

And i can figure out what type of connector to get to install the other broken wire to connect it to the other sensor.

I've been trying to find a pic but no luck

If you have a camera take a pic and Ill circle the one that would cause the zero oil pressure to show, the guage is electrical, and its the guage sensor that is disconected, I bottomed out one day, and knocked that off, it simply slid back on and with a little turn stayed on there. If you cant get a camera by saturday Ill take a picture of mine, because thats when Ill be working on my car at the shop, and Ill take a pic then, and circle what would casue the zero reading.

Sadly i can't find the data cable to connect my digi cam to my laptop *sad* so i can't take a pic.

And i had to leave for a couple days on bussiness so i want be able to take a look at it any more this sucks'

Does anybody have a pic or maybe knows which one is the oil pressure sensor and also whats the other sensor on the oil filter housing.
