Ramon Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 (edited) Hello again every one I notice this morning that my oil pressure switch was not connected or plugged anywhere and I search for he cable but didn't found it. I see in the user manual but not pretty sure which one is it Do you know where this signal come from I only found a connector that used to be for the "sport - touring" shock absorber and I search inside but I didn't found any loosen cable to figure out is from there also if you can tell me what is the function of this switch? thank you Jose Ramon Edited April 8, 2009 by Ramon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramon Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share Posted April 8, 2009 no pictures because no much room for so, but the diagram below show the location is next to the oil filter below the manifolds exhaust in the right side of the engine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indigent Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 If you are talking about what I think you are, there is no actual switch inside the car. There is the oil pressure sending unit (sometimes called a switch) that is located next to the oil filter. There is a single wire that goes to it and it should be part of the same cable that goes to the starter. The wire you are looking for to re-attach to the sending unit should have an orange/brown rubber cover on the end. It is basically a reed switch that makes contact when there is enough oil pressure. When the pressure of the oil is too low to operate the switch it turns on the light in your dash. Is your oil light on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 The sport/touring switch changes the valving inside the original adjustable shocks. The sport setting makes the shocks stiffer and the touring setting makes the shocks softer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is your oil light on? yes is exactly what I am talking the about the oil pressure sending unit called switch in the user manual and nope my oil signal only turn on when I open the switch before start my engine and then goes out may something is wrong with it or the cable is receiving signal some where else I'm gong to star looking for the orange/browm cord to see if is still in the main harness can this oil pressure sending unit cause the engine takes long to start? this happened to me since a while specially when the engine is totally cold in the morning thank you Edited April 8, 2009 by Ramon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So now I have normal shock absorbers in order to re use this feature I have to search for special ones with this valving inside ? and I believe those are a bit expensive than normal Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think one other company makes a compatable one that can be used Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should not effect your cold stating, if you leave the key on run for a few sec before craking it that might help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
