Re: 1986 Single Cab
look like oil pressure switches, yellow high pressure and blue/black is low pressure between push rod tubes.
if you have an early engine you need to permanently ground yellow

Re: 1986 Single Cab
6 wires. Would the green / black go to .3 bar switch?

Re: 1986 Single Cab
black and lilac/black ( cut wires) go to the blue thermoswitch in the thermostat housing and that switches the relay in the black box.
low pressure switch for oil is blue/black as I said
very puzzled about the green black with yellow because it looks like the oil pressure switch connector but it should be blue/black and yellow, worth checking it visually cameras sometimes get colors wrong.
what colors are the other two cut wires bottom of picture? one is brown whats the other, worth cleaning and looking closely.

Re: 1986 Single Cab
This is what mine looks like
Black and Lilac/black go to thermo switch
red/yellow and brown temp sender ( you can barely see the colours because they are sleeved, just a tiny bit showing)
blue/black low pressure oil switch
yellow high pressure oil switch
