Oil Pressure Probs

[tmc_2]

Hey guys, i have bene experiencing irratic and low oil pressure readings.

I got my self a AutoGauge smoke series electronic oil pressure gauge with sender from honsma and a sandwich plate from just jap.

Now i cant get the gauge to read, i suspect the gauge is faulty or my wiring is wrong.

The instructions with the gauge are crap and do not indicated what wires go where.

Basically i have a orange, red and black wire which are conneteced up to supply light to the gauge.

this leaves me with a Black , Red and Green wire which are for the sender.

On the two terminals on the sender one has the letter 'G' adn the other "WK:Ground'

I connected the black wire to WK:ground and the green wire the the terminal with 'g' and the red wire to a powersource.

Now the gauge does not read at all stays dead on 0psi , my stock gauge still reads.

Does any one have any ideas or a wiring diagram at all? i cant find any info about them

Cheers.

This is rather urgent as i need to determine if i have a faulty sender or oil pump. fingers crossed its just the sender.

Thanks

Well you don't have a faulty oil pump if your motor is still running

I have just put in a bunch of autometer gear and they all came with wiring diagrams, surprised your's didn't. I didn't do an oil pressure though.

instructions can be downloaded from www.autometer.com under gauges/information

Thanks Duncan,

I got a AutoGauge not Autometer, apparently autoguage is the cheap subsidiary company off shoot from autometer. I assume a autometer wiring diagram will be sufficient. ill have a look at the site cheers.

Autometer site doesnt have any useful information any one have any idea how to wire up the sender? I cant figure out any other logical way? :S

Talk to JJ, they sold it to you!

Acutually i bought it from http://www.honsma.com/, i go thte sandwichplate from justjap.

I email the seller awaiting a reply....

Might just put it in the bin and get another brand with sufficient wiring diagram.

black = ground

red/orange = +12V

green = sensor to the OPS

does that help?

from memory there are 2 black and 2 red wires

the orange wire is actually for the backlight (eg at night) but it does absolutely nothing so i connected mine as constant 12V source

[tmc_2]

Thanks Wazr32gtst. I didnt connect the orange wire would that make a difference? Im guessing the long red wire goes to power the green goes to ops and the black goes to the ops as well

[WazR32GTSt]

yeah shouldn't matter if the orange wire wasn't connected..

but black is to ground not to the OPS

the green wire should be the only one going to the OPS
