Evening all
Doing a engine swap. Had a 1.9 dg petrol with 2 oil pressure switches, replaced that engine with one that only had one switch (by the push rods), now that engine is being replaced by the original engine and when i started disconnecting and labelling wires i can't remember what the wire by the oil filter looked like. i remember grounding it to stop the buzzer of doom, but it was too long ago
Can anyone tell or show me what the wire for the oil filter pressure switch looks like or where it connects into?
Pics would be appreciated if they're out there
It's at work so i can't go see, but will be going there tomorrow to finish the job
Cheers

Just remember. If women don't find you handsome , they should at least find you handy.

Brown wires, white m/f combined plug. One switch terminal has a rubber bonnet (between pushrods) the other has a 90 degree flag connector that keeps the wire away from the pulleys (small cable tie holds wire to switch body)

No problem. Check all the terminal crimps for corrosion or oxide, high resistance = false alarms.
I was having a clearup after work today and found an old one (that is only fit for a pattern)
It was the source of a few panics until I changed it for a reliable one!
