Oil Sending Unit

I have a 1984 Bronco and I need some help finding the oil sending unit wire. I really don't want to pull dash apart to find the correct wire. There is no 90 degree connector to be found. No single wires to be found. Please advise. Thanks

You really ought to have a signature that tells us a bit about your truck, like what engine you have. That would allow us to tell you where to look for the wire.

Speaking of the wire, assuming you have gauges you are looking for a white wire with a red stripe, as shown below.

Yes, that helps.

The oil pressure sending unit is above the fuel pump, and the wire should come from near the DS-II module, assuming you have one, over to the engine.

How do you like the Truetrac in front. I have one in back and like it a lot, but have wondered how it would do in front.

Re: Oil Sending Unit

I haven't driven it yet. I've been working in it since March 2022. When I got it, someone hacked had an EFI on to it. What a mess that was. Wires spliced all over. Looked like a rats nest. So I cleaned house. Pulled engine, trans., transfer case, rear ends, etc.. Everything has been rebuilt and I am trying to take my time and do it correctly. Engine has been balanced and dyno'ed.

I'm not sure what or where a DS-II is? I don't believe there is one. I removed the module for the EFI along with all the pollution stuff.

The DS-II module would have been on the driver's side fender. And the wiring comes out of the cab, goes along the fender, and then out to the engine.
