OK. so here we go again with the previous owner of my car doing some really stupid stuff. I have no oil pressure gauge on my dash. He (previous owner) told me it was the sending unit. So today I decided I would go ahead and get one and fix it. When I got underneath the car, there is no wires for eithe the oil sending switcch or the oil pressure switch. could anyonoe tell me where in the harness these wires are "supposed" to be? thanks!

car is 95' eclipse gst

ok i found the two wires, now i just need help with what color wire goes to which switch. he cut the connectors off of the end of the wires, so I have no way of knowing which one goes where.
 

i reconnected the idiot light connector( got the connector from the junk yard). So thats fixed.
I spliced on a spade connector to go in the sending unit however I didnt see the yellow wire anywhere. :confused: i do have the blue/white wire(powersteering switch) and the other wire I cannot make out the color but it doesnt give the gauge any power. Im starting tto think the sending unit is bad or the wire is the wrong wire. Could you please confirm the color of the wire to the sending unit? ill cut the loomed wire harness to find the wire if need be. Also, shouldnt there be 12volts power from the sending wire?
thanks!

Problem solved! I installed an autometer pro-com lite oil pressure guage to take place of the stock one on the gauge cluster. Its alot more accurate and readable and dont have to mess with the wires ever again! I should have just done this in the first place but I just dont like broken stuff.Oh well.thanks for all the help! :hellyeah:
 
Doesn't matter to you anymore but perhaps to another viewing this. I just saw the oil pressure gauge sender sometimes has a small green wire to a connector on the oil housing. (The wire diagrams don't show this small green wire or the connector which is a source of confusion). From there it's a yellow wire (sometimes yellow/red) which then goes into a larger yellow/red to the gauge. The small green and yellow (or yellow/red) wires are inside a protective casing.

ill go try to see if i can find the wire though. thanks for the help. I didnt mean to abandon the thread without a fix, but i just had enough of it.
